Closing Ceremony

11:00 am - 11:30 am

 

NAON Foundation

Begin your Congress experience at 6:00 pm on Friday, May 18. Join us in the heart of the French Quarter at the New Orleans School of Cooking where your taste buds will be tantalized and Creole/Cajun experts will teach you New Orleans specialties in a renovated molasses factory. Food, fun and folklore will be the menu of the evening while supporting the NAON Foundation's mission. Following our event you can meander the French Quarter. You must register for this special event on our Web site at http://naonfoundation.org.

 

In keeping with tradition, our annual Electronics Raffle ($20 tickets), Health Walk ($25) and "building the wall" (minimum $50, which registers you as a member of the Foundation Club) events will provide opportunities to champion the Foundation's efforts. If you prefer to "Sleep in for the Foundation" rather than participate in the Health Walk you can do so for $30!

 

Don't forget to pack your SOCKS!

 

The New Orleans Local Affairs team asks that everyone donate new socks, any size or color will do, to be distributed to various local charities. In these tough economic times, there are many people who cannot afford something as basic as new footwear. Just having a clean pair of socks may reduce foot problems for the young, the old, the homeless and many others who do not have the means with which to buy something as basic as socks. This small gesture could lead to improved overall health for someone in need!

 

NAON Productions Booth

The NAON Productions Booth in the registration area will be stocked with NAON publications and merchandise on sale daily. Plan to stop by to review samples and purchase items to help you in your practice or present as gifts to friends.

Attire

 

The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is a large building, so comfortable shoes are a must. Because this is a professional conference, recommended dress for all sessions is business casual. Meeting rooms tend to be cool in temperature, so bring a light jacket or sweater for your comfort.

Educational Sessions

We need your help! Tell us which sessions you plan to attend so we can assign sessions to appropriately sized rooms.

 

* Choices do NOT constitute guaranteed registration or admittance to sessions.

 

* Select ONE session per time period.

 

* The session numbers appear before the titles.

 

* All breakout sessions are seated on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

 

Select one educational session per time period on the registration form or on your online registration. Seating for breakout sessions is on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-selection of sessions during registration does not guarantee seating; however, it aids in the planning of room assignments to accommodate attendance. Once room capacity is filled, sessions will be closed. Due to fire code regulations, participants will not be able to sit or stand in the back of the room and chairs cannot be added. If a session is closed, participants must select another session where seating is available.
