I appreciate the virtual comments, however, aren't you all a bit tired of the virtual meeting. Alexandra, thanks for working hard to navigate a tough situation.
How was your experience? I’m curious if I should book a plane ticket ✈️
My experience was amazing. The networking was fantastic and meeting all these people in real life that I've been spending so much time with online was such a treat.

And you can't beat New Orleans. And if you can't get a room at the hotel, I know at least one member here (not saying names) who owns several airbnb's right on Saint Charles St.

Can't wait! Just a heads up to everyone. The city announced today that vaccines/testing will be mandatory for all indoor activities. Not sure exactly how that's going to work but I'm sure more info is coming.

@John Lewis Thanks for posting this. I was wondering if/when someone was going to mention the Covid of it all. Sounds like an amazing event, but I'll have to wait til the last minute to possibly buy my ticket. :(

@Jill Lutz Same here. I work as a registered nurse and this wave has been an onslaught. I'm going to wait and see if Louisiana goes on lockdown or if cases decrease.

I live in Louisiana not far from New Orleans. Thought everyone should be aware what is going on here with covid. If you plan on attending you will need proof of vaccination or a recent negative covid test. It’s exploding here right now, worst we have had it since the whole pandemic started.

Just saw this, takes effect 16 Aug. Be prepared before arriving.

For the update on the current status of New Orleans and the uptick in cases. Hope that everyone stays safe! Like others have said, I'm going to hold off on buying my tickets for the time being to see if NOLA eases the restrictions in the coming weeks.
@Jill Lutz I think I saw someone state that you have to have a COVID vaccination if your going to be indoors with a large gathering of people "In New Orleans". I wanted to purchase a ticket, but after hearing this decided not to. I'm bummed!

It sounds like there is an option for showing proof of a negative Covid test within 72 hours
