We invite you to attend the March Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is a very exciting city, and has achieved significant recovery from hurricane Katrina. The French Quarter is thriving and the many fine restaurants and shops are within walking distance of most of the hotels. The headquarters hotel is the New Orleans Marriott on Canal Street, just steps away from the French Quarter. All non-technical APS-sponsored and satellite meetings will take place at the Marriott. Busing will be provided to the convention center from all hotels not within walking distance.

For more information, see the guide to attractions in New Orleans compiled for APS by Jim McGuire, chair of the physics department at Tulane University.
