Downtown Shreveport

Welcome to the lively center of our bustling city! Shreveport offers a unique vantage point for this year's convention theme: "Energy! Ready for the next round." It's the perfect place to learn from the past and share ideas for the future, and we can't wait for you to join us in this endeavor.

Shreveport Convention Center

Your home away from home during the convention, the Shreveport Convention Center offers the amenities of a big city establishment with small town charm. Accommodations can be booked at the attached Hilton Hotel. Details, including group rate information, coming soon.
