A Message from the New Orleans Morial Convention Center

The New Orleans Morial Convention Center has weathered the recent storm event with minor damage. All major systems are operable and the center is functioning at 100% capacity. All major systems of the city are expected to be functioning within the next 72 hours including the airport.

We look forward to welcoming the American Institute of Architects - Louisiana Chapter on September 18-19, and a concert by the band Chicago on September 21 as scheduled, as well as a number of events already scheduled throughout the coming months.

Planning for storm events by and among numerous agencies, local, state and federal, were implemented with great success. The reinforced levee system held without any breeches. Some levees were overtopped but no serious street flooding was experienced.
