#ThrowbackThursday to #onetimeinnola last year, when a #mask market had a different meaning...
These photos, taken outside (and in) the #MardiGras mask market (1& 3) are from the last trip taken by #FandDmag staff prior to the pandemic (during according to some accounts), as well as the last taste of #beignets (2) from @cafedumonde any of us up in New York would savor for a while. We also got a kick out of some of the floats (4&5) for a children's #parade in one of the nearby parishes.
These photos celebrate not only our desire to @visitneworleans once again, but the reopening of @mccno Morial Convention Center for its first event in 320 days.

No, it's not an #iceskating rink, it is the @oculuswtc set up for an after hours private event. It's but one of the many amazing venues that #NYC #eventprofs look forward to utilizing post-pandemic.
(Clearly this photo is from our archives, as the seating wouldn't comply with social distancing standards.) #seeyourcity @nycgo_press @nycgo

While our @meetingsinpr visit has been temporarily postponed, it won't stop us from posting some of the plethora of reasons for #eventprofs to @discoverpuertorico.
The #elyunque #rainforest, rich with plush greenery and native wildlife is home to numerous #waterfalls. Easily accessible by tour bus, #hiking trails can lead visitors to even more natural wonders. The nearby @wyndhamgrandrm resort - which has endless #beaches with event space indoor and out, overlooking the ocean - is close enough to @elyunquenationalforest that in the evenings you can hear the native coqui #frogs calling from the distance.

Before we head back to work this Monday morning, we want to thank @pcmahq for putting together a most memorable #pcmacl. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, thousands of #eventprofs around the globe convened and participated in this year's event, with hybrid sites around the globe including @marinabaysands & @caesarsmeansbusiness.
Hats off to @sherrifk (image from past cover of #FandDmag), the officers and chapter leaders who made Convening Leaders 2021 a success.

Considering donning this #PCMACL 2016 scarf as we join the thousands of #eventprofs in attendance - virtually - this week.

Looking back to @iaee_hq's #ExpoExpo 2018, that took our team to #NewOrleans.
Our writers took the opportunity to explore some of #NOLA's world-class venues outside of the #FandDmag Prime Site Award-winning @mccno Convention Center. The #CrescentCity's @nationalww2museum has many spacious, thought provoking exhibitions as well as meeting & conference spaces that can accommodate groups that @visitneworleans.
Recent upgrades to the Ernest N. Morial convention center and its outdoor plaza, as well as the announced expansion and rebranding of @harrahsnola is positioning the city to be a top destination post-pandemic.

#Thanksgiving is generally followed by @iaee_hq's #ExpoExpo...
Looking back to 2017, when #FandDmag staff got to @visitsanantonio - and the #Alamo - with #Christmas in the air at the annual “show of shows.” While the #event is virtual this year, we hope to get back to the business of #meetings real soon.

The one that got away...
Seems like this #turkey, spotted on the lawn of a suburban neighborhood in #newyorkcity's #StatenIsland managed to make it to #Thanksgiving without incident...
Wishing all our friends a #happythanksgivng!

Being #VeteransDay, we'll salute members of the #military and express our appreciation for their service to our country.
#eventprofs serving the "M" in the #SMERF #meetings and #events market often look to utilize sites and venues that resonate with those affiliated to the military. The historic @battleshipmissouri in #honolulu is often the site of choice for groups that visit #hawaii. Settings above deck as well as below, in addition to spacious pier using the #battleship as a backdrop are available for groups of varying sizes.

Looking back to @ilove_lucerne -Two years ago toda

Looking back to @ilove_lucerne -Two years ago today, #FandDmag had an opportunity to visit #luzern, a #Swiss lakeside city, one hour from #Zurich and a gateway to the #Alps. Our story appears in the 2019 SuperBook issue.
The #trolley is one of many exhibits at the @verkehrshaus der #Schweiz that depict the #history of #transportation in #Switzerland from its earliest days looking into the future.
The #museum has multiple venues indoors and out for group functions and meetings. Also in site is a fully stocked @lindt store in which visitors can design their own #chocolate creations.

Looking up from the depths of the @wtc memorial pools, five years ago this week.
Here's to hoping that the hateful ideologies that led to the tragic events of #911 are one step closer to disappearing with the #peace accords brokered by the #USA between @israel and #Bahrain.

3,500 years of #glassart is on display at the @corningmuseum of #glass in #UpstateNewYork. In addition to #glassmaking exhibitions (image 2), its collections include pieces that span the millennia from ancient #Egypt (image 1), the #Greek & #Roman (image 4) empires, centuries of European glasswork through modern times, including contemporary #artists like #chihuly (image 3). The #museum has both indoor and outdoor spaces making it a versatile #venue for #meetings & #events.

The surrounding region has an abundance of natural beauty, is rich in #history, and is home to a broad array of facilities with wide open spaces, all within hours of #NYC. Groups may choose to extend their stays to take advantage of nearby #FingerLakes and #NewYork State #Parks that provide opportunities for #hiking, #biking, #fishing & #boating. Currently, the region is particularly ideal to avoid quarantine restrictions for in-state #meeting & #event planning as well as when post-#COVID19 planning resumes.
