1. Is this a "Swingers" convention?
No... and yes. There will be "swingers" at our convention, there will also be nudists, republicans, conservatives, church-goers, fetish and BDSM'ers, polyamorists, voyeurs, exhibitionists and much more. We are more than just a "swingers" convention- we market to any couples that are open minded, not offended by sexual expression and like to have fun. Still have questions? Call us at (800) 304-4493 and we'll answer them.
1. What is N'awlins in November?
A 5 day/4 night, "hotel takeover", alternative lifestyle convention. It is a gathering of open minded couples who are all interested in exploring their sexuality and want to visit one of the sexiest cities in America: New Orleans.
2. What do you mean by "hotel takeover"?
Simply that, we take over the hotel. Only those couples registered with our convention will have access to our hotel. No families, church groups, kids, singles... Just our group. Other conventions claim a "hotel takeover" and have failed to come through on this promise. Instead you find yourself neighbors with a Girl Scout convention in the same hotel! We are the only convention that can boast 7 straight "hotel takeovers" (the most consecutive takeovers by anyone).
3. How much is it?
We have several packages available:
Convention package A, includes everything, Wed-Sun, with dinner, is $550 per couple.
Convention package B, Wed-Sun, without dinner, is $475 per couple.
Convention package C, Thurs-Sun, with dinner, is $510 per couple.
Convention package D, Thurs-Sun, without dinner, is $425 per couple.
The packages includes all of the convention activities including: all seminars, professional entertainers, demonstrations, themed dance parties every night, 4 bands, drawings, contests, private parties at 5 different Bourbon Street clubs, an Erotic Marketplace, access to our hospitality suites and couples purchasing dinner packages will get two gourmet meals (Friday & Saturday night) featuring authentic New Orleans cuisine and 3 continental breakfasts. Couples purchasing either packages A or B will also include the welcome reception, Bourbon St Parade, balcony party & night at Colette's.
Hotel rooms are not included.
4. Who will attend?
Couples from all walks of life, age (over 21), profession, religion, race etc. are welcome. From the "just curious" to the most experienced couple- N'awlins in November offers something for everyone. The average couple have been together for 10 years, travel often, average 35-42 and are professionals.
5. What can we expect?
There will be seminars, professional entertainers, demonstrations, two gourmet meals featuring authentic New Orleans cuisine, themed dance parties every night, drawings, contests, private parties at 5 different Bourbon Street clubs, an Erotic Marketplace, hospitality suites and much more...
6. What's not included in the package?
Hotel rooms are billed separately and are $145 per night, for a standard room and $245 for a suite. Food, drinks & incidentals, other than noted above, are not included.
7. Do I have to participate in anything I do not wish too?
Of course not. The universal rule is "No means No!" You are free to participate as much or as little as you wish. If you have any problems with anyone at our event, please notify someone from our staff.
8. How many people do you expect?
We expect over 900 couples (that's over 1,800 people!). We are one of the largest conventions of our kind, but we are still small enough where you don't get "lost in the crowd" and you'll get a chance to meet almost everyone in attendance.
9. What do we wear?
We have three themed dances, including a Pajama night and a Mardi Gras Ball. Our schedule page will post examples of suggested fashions for these parties. Sexy more formal dress is usually the standard for dinner. Can't find the perfect outfit? Try the Erotic Marketplace for a great selection of fabulous fashions. Casual clothes are best suited for exploring New Orleans and mingling during the day. The average weather in November is between 50F - 75F. A light coat or sweater is helpful at night.
10. Can we get naked and have sex in the halls?
Of Course Not. You are free to enjoy any particular activity in the privacy of your room. No sexual activities may take place in the public areas of the hotel. Also, there is no nudity allowed in the public areas, including the pool, balconies or elevator.
11. What about flashing?
New Orleans is well known for Mardi Gras and a liberal amount of "flashing". Here's what we've found to be true: If you flash someone quickly, you can have fun, act out a fantasy and not have to worry about getting into trouble.
You will get into trouble for:
1. taking your top completely off (note the word "flash" in "flashing").
2. Dropping your pants (men or women)- this is the quickest way to get into trouble.
3. Flashing during the daylight or in the view of minors. Discretion is the key. What might be O.K. at night on Bourbon Street will not be tolerated in broad daylight in front of the aquarium.
Use your common sense. Have fun, enjoy yourselves but be responsible for your actions.

13. Who is putting on this event?
French Connection Events are one of the leading lifestyle event planners in the country. With 7 consecutive, "Hotel Takeover", Couples-Only conventions - Bob & Tess know what their customers want... and they deliver.
14. How do we get there?
There are 2 choices for getting to our hotel: take a taxi or a shuttle bus. The shuttle is $13 per person ($26 per couple) and you will have to stop at other hotels on your way to our hotel. A taxi is $28 per couple and they go right to the hotel (our choice!). If you are coming with friends or you see someone else going to the convention (come on, you know you can spot 'em), take a taxi van and save even more money. The more that go, the cheaper it is.
We are centrally located on the corner of Bourbon St. & Canal, so we do not recommend renting a car (plus, parking is expensive and hard to find downtown). If you are driving in, our hotel does have valet parking. It isn't cheap, but they give you in and out privileges, so it is convenient.
