Beware of Hotel Scammers
The scammers are starting earlier and earlier every year! Recently, NFDA heard from members who received emails and phone calls offering hotels for the 2024 NFDA International Convention & Expo.
Registration and the official housing bureau will open in late-spring 2024.
Maritz Global Events is the only official hotel provider for the 2024 NFDA Convention. Maritz lets you easily and reliably compare hotel prices/locations for New Orleans hotels. While reservations made elsewhere might seem like a good option, they might be illegitimate and not actually have the rooms to sell; impose unreasonable cancellation or change penalties; or be non-refundable.
