From the French Quarter and dynamic nightlife of Bourbon Street to Mardi Gras to the deep-rooted Creole culture, New Orleans exudes a distinctive charm and vibrancy with a hint of mystery. Visitors from around the world make their way to The Big Easy to experience this unique city and all that it has to offer.
However, what many don’t realize is that New Orleans is also an up-and-coming technology hub and is making its presence felt in the film and television industry. It is a major commercial port and is one of the nation’s leading oil refining and petrochemical production locations. Major companies and businesses are either headquartered in NOLA or run a sizable portion of their operations in the region.
And finally, New Orleans is one of the leading convention destinations in the country with many taking place at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center. So, if business brings you to Crescent City, hopefully, you make time to experience some of the iconic cultural offerings on tap.
