WELCOME TO NEW ORLEANS!

Founded in 1718 by French aristocrat Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, sieur de Bienville, New Orleans is known as one of the leading cultural destinations in the United States. You can explore the vast cultural diversity New Orleans has to offer, such as the French Quarter, old European architecture and musical venues just to name a few. Also, let’s not forget the New Orleans cuisine. Be sure to taste New Orleans Cajun cooking from the best restaurants in town.

This year’s NAPS Annual Conference will be held in the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel. It is located in the heart of New Orleans on Canal Street bordering the French Quarter minutes from local attractions. The newly renovated hotel is moments from the Mississippi River and Harrah’s Casino. You are only a stone’s throw away from the Aquarium of the Americas, IMAX Theater, Riverwalk Marketplace, and award-winning restaurants. Also, the New Orleans International Airport is only 16 miles away from the Sheraton.

As you step into town, you will see amazing ornamental cast-iron balconies, smell exotic Cajun cuisine, and listen to upbeat New Orleans music. We hope you enjoy the amazing sites and sounds that you will find in New Orleans. There is no other place like it.
