Luggage?
Just how do you prepare for a city filled with jazz, food, history and a few bayous? The average temperatures for September and October are high 80's and a low 70 degrees Fahrenheit. With up to five inches of rain, year round, New Orleans weather can be unpredictable, please research the weather prior to leaving.
SPE encourages all ATCE 2013 attendees to bring walking shoes for touring historic areas like the French Quarter and Garden District. Bring something dressy if you decide to experience jazz on Bourbon Street, or you can dive right in and come as you are—because in N'awlins, there's a taste and place for everyone. So set your watch to Central Standard Time and join the ATCE 2013 experience.
