Experience the Vibrant Mixture of New Orleans
Webtrends Engage 2010 New Orleans, Feb. 1-4
From the simmering pots of gumbo in the restaurants to the hybrid jazz rhythms in the nightclubs, New Orleans can, like no other city in America, turn disparate ingredients into something new and special.
It’s fitting then that Webtrends, where Open Exchange is the guiding philosophy, hold its most eclectic customer conference ever in the Crescent City. Engage 2010 unfolds at the historic and recently renewed Roosevelt Hotel, just steps from the fabled French Quarter, during the first week in February 2010.
New Orleans’ eclectic cuisine, vibrant music scene and non-stop nightlife – all flavored by the mystical spice of Creole culture – provide an unmistakable backdrop. During the day, you can focus on learning. At night, the city is yours to explore. If you need a little coaxing to have fun, Webtrends will kick off Mardi Gras a few weeks early with a reception on the first night and closing ceremony on the third night of the event.
Where else can you discover new ways to enhance your digital marketing and business intelligence, listen to some of the world’s best jazz musicians and possibly even find a voodoo doll that looks a wee bit like your boss? Great things are destined to happen at Engage 2010.

The Marriott Hotel
The Pere Marquette office building, named for French missionary Father Jacques Marquette, was built in 1925 as one of the first “sky scrapers” in New Orleans. Its Neo-Gothic architectural style attracted many of New Orleans’ professionals and housed one of the first indoor shopping “malls” in the country on the first floor. Situated less then one block from Roosevelt Hotel. The Pere Marquette was completely renovated in October of 2007 and designed to honor this quintessential American musical genre. The rich jazz history of Storyville comes alive in many whimsical details such as wake-up calls that include a little jazz history and guest room floors and meeting rooms named for jazz legends. Mila restaurant voted top 10 best restaurant in 2009 by NOLA.com
