How GREEN is the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center?

Their commitment to recycling and sustainability is world class. In fact, New Orleans is the first Convention Center to be recognized for the ______ award.

We offer a SUSTAINABILITY SPONSORSHIP to help cover the additional cost of our event taking optimum steps to make our trade show / festival as green as possible.

We congratulate the staff of NOMCC in their achievement and recent industry recognition.
