Location of CMS Technical Sessions
Our rooms at the convention center are 211, 212, and 213, with the exception of the CMS Awards Symposium. The plenary CMS Awards Symposium will be held on Sunday morning in La Louisiane Ballroom C, which is on the first floor of the convention center at the far north end (closest to the French Quarter and the Bourbon Orleans). The remainder of the symposia will be held Sunday afternoon through Thursday afternoon in Rooms 211 – 213, also at the northern end of the convention center but located on the second floor. This means shorter walks for us!

-
ACS Convention Shuttle (free): Complimentary shuttle service will be provided by the ACS from the Morial Convention Center to the official ACS hotels. Shuttles will operate during meeting hours from Sunday to Thursday. Because the Bourbon Orleans is not an ACS-listed hotel, it will probably be necessary to walk 4 – 6 blocks to catch the free ACS shuttle. The three closest hotels listed as ACS hotels are the Royal Sonesta at 300 Bourbon Street, the W French Quarter at 316 Chartres Street, and the Hotel Monteleone at 214 Royal Street.
