The 2016 NFCA National Convention, hosted by the city of New Orleans, will take place Dec. 7-10 at the New Orleans Marriott. One of the premier hotels in the French Quarter, near the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, the New Orleans Marriott features spacious rooms and scenic city views to help you unwind after a full day of professional enrichment at the NFCA National Convention.

It features two restaurants — 5Fifty5 and 55 Fahrenheit — plus an on-site Starbucks and the M Club Lounge, while a state-of-the-art fitness center and outdoor pool are perfect for working off the calories and helping maintain your exercise routine on the road.

It’s easy to venture to outside destinations, though, as the Marriott is within walking distance of a wide variety of restaurants — each serving an eclectic mix of cuisines that reflect the area’s unique blend of French, African and American cultures —  plus live music and all the Bourbon Street nightlife you can handle.
