Transportation

Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) is served by all major airlines. We have secured a discounted rate for the airport shuttle. The round-trip cost for the shuttle is $35 (about the cost of a one-way trip in a cab). Follow this link to get the discounted rate. Please be aware that this shuttle serves most of the hotels in the downtown area – it is possible that it will stop several times on the way to the Hampton. Parking is available at the hotel. Conference venues and entertainment are within a half mile of the hotel – please note on the registration form if you are unable to walk long distances. Vans will be available for transportation as needed.

Call for Proposals

Proposals are being accepted on topics including Curriculum Development, Showcasing Our Students, and Sustainability of Our Programs. Email to Josh Brown: director@gpgc.org.

New Orleans Weather

The weather is usually still a little hot here in New Orleans in October and you should always be prepared for rain. The dress code for the conference is casual to business casual.
