What to Wear
Cool, comfortable, and casual day wear. Even though the temperatures outside are warm, it would be safe to pack a sweater – the conference room can get chilly.
Don’t forget to pack a fun hat for the Bodacious Bras For A Cause Brunch (and make sure you have room in your suitcase to take a bra home!).
Be sure to pack your flip-flops and favorite glo-wear for our Stiletto Stroll Glo-Parade. We know how cute your heels are, but we don’t want any sprained or broken bones!
Transportation
Louis Armstrong International Airport offers several transportation options. Ground transportation can be accessed outside of the baggage claim levels.
Taxicabs
A cab ride costs $33.00 from the airport to the Central Business District (CBD), where the JW Marriott is located, for one or two persons and $14.00 (per passenger) for three or more passengers. Pick-up is on the lower level, outside the baggage claim area. There may be an additional charge for extra baggage. Taxis are required to offer a credit card payment option.
