Log In
Known for its signature Southern charm and semi-tropical climate, Louisiana is the perfect place for your attendees to work and play—any time of the year.
1. Amazing Culture Lives Here
Plan an event in Baton Rouge and your guests will have the opportunity to experience the true spirit of Louisiana—everything from attending a live zydeco music performance, tailgating at a Louisiana State University (LSU) game, or savoring the best creole and Cajun cuisine. Consider a team-building paddle-boarding adventure on the LSU Lakes, group plantation tours or a guided airboat ride to see alligators up close in the Bayou. Attendees can also get a unique, bird’s-eye view of the city and gardens from the observation deck at the Louisiana State Capitol—the tallest capitol building in the U.S.
2. There’s New Energy in the City Center
The Mid City area of Baton Rouge is experiencing a revival, producing tons of great new restaurants, bars and venues, and defining itself as a cultural hub within the city. Your attendees can refuel at the White Star Market, an urban gourmet food hall serving everything from steamed Bao buns and wood-fired pizza to cold-pressed juices and kombucha. Then toast to a productive day with a local craft brew at the new Mid City Beer Garden.
3. It’s Easy to Get Here and Easier to Get Around
The city is centrally located, no matter how your attendees find their way here. Baton Rouge is situated just 80 miles from New Orleans, and is near or directly located along four major interstates (I-10, I-12, I-55, and I-49). If your guests fly into the Metropolitan Airport, it’s just a quick seven-mile ride to downtown, where they will be within walking distance of many meeting spaces, restaurants, bars and attractions.
