Global New Orleans will host an IVLP group, "Sustainable Cities," featuring urban planners, architects, elected officials and NGO mangers from 24 different countries.

Join us for a dynamic panel featuring local experts, as well as some of our international visitors, who will discuss strategies to create sustainable urban environments that address the communities facing coastal land loss and other risks.

Following the discussion, attendees can network informally with the panelists, and the 24 international visitors, from all over the world including Senegal, Jamaica, Croatia, Norway, Sri Lanka and more, to exchange ideas on developing resilient and inclusive urban spaces. There is a cash bar to purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and Global New Orleans will provide snacks.
