To coincide with our Carnivale/Mardi Gras theme, we are creating a festive New Orleans atmosphere throughout the Exhibit Hall. Wednesday evening (5:00 – 8:00 p.m.) the Exhibit Hall opens to a lively Dixieland band, an interactive New Orleans Trivia game, a Hurricane Bar and lots of other fun on the Bayou. Visit the SHRM Foundation Booth to get your New Orleans lagniappes(trinkets).

 

 

 

The fun extends to Thursday when the Mardi Gras Carnivale promises lots of fun and lively entertainment. The Attendee Appreciation Event starts the evening from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. A Jazz Band entertains during the Attendee Appreciation Event where the drawing for all the large exhibitor and raffle ticket prizes will be completed. Special recognition for sponsors will be made during this time.  After the Attendee Appreciation Event, the Carnivale begins! (6:00 – 9:00 p.m.) The PAC lobby will be transformed into a stroll down Bourbon Street complete with roving revelers, costumed greeters, and plenty of tantalizing food and beverages. The KC Hall will be connected to the party and will serve as a stroll through the French Quarter. A Zydeco band will provide the entertainment along with palm readers, tarot card readers and “street” performers.
