Welcome to New Orleans!

New Orleans welcomes one and all with genuine heart and flair that uniquely defines Southern Hospitality! This city’s multifaceted personality blends into an offbeat harmony that defines the city's unmistakable charm. New Orleans is bawdy and sophisticated, historic and contemporary, relaxing and energizing, educational and recreational, rustic and refined – an atmosphere unmatched by any other city.

Today, the most celebrated and historic core of the city – including the French Quarter, Arts District, Garden District, Faubourg Marigny, Audubon Zoo and Park, unlimited Restaurants and the beautiful St. Charles Avenue – is better than ever. The cultural riches, sensual indulgences and unparalleled service that define the New Orleans experience continue to flourish, as they have for centuries.

New Orleans is many things … The Crescent City … a sportsman’s paradise … a city of chefs and delectable cuisine … rich in culture and history … the birthplace of Jazz. It is a city teeming with music bubbling up from the streets, immersed in art and architecture, lavished in celebration and beauty. It is never anything but completely authentic and forever a feast for the soul. You must come and experience it first hand!

With this back drop, a record attendance at SAS 2010 is eagerly anticipated. This year, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center will be the location for the 2010 Global Symposium on Motion Preservation Technology. The center is located near the river in the down town area and within walking distance to many hotels, restaurants, shopping and entertainment.
