All conference workshops are held on-site, so there’s no separate venue to find, and a free breakfast is included. ASGA chose this hotel to keep travel simple and affordable for students and advisors coming from across the country: room and food costs are much lower than staying in the French Quarter. The hotel sits directly across the street from the airport with a free shuttle to and from your flight. Parking: $8/day for ASGA guests and conference attendees (normally $23/day).
