Beware of hotel pirates! If you are contacted by a company claiming to be a housing vendor for the CGP conference, just hang up. They will offer to make reservations within the CGP block on your behalf, and they often will take your credit card payment and run. Some may even say they are calling from the New Orleans Marriott.

New Orleans 2019

New Orleans is excited to host CGP Conference 2019, a unique meeting place for charitable gift planning professionals. A timeless city with a unique way of life, New Orleans is a journey and a celebration. Steeped in European traditions and Caribbean influences, the Big Easy calls curious minds to sweet sounds and savory aromas fueled by three hundred years of history. From the moment you arrive, New Orleans will beckon your ears, allure your eyes and enchant your heart. Indulge your senses and explore. We invite you to follow the scent of gumbo floating out the kitchen window, foster a path that leads to the sounds of drums and a Blues guitar, create the route that welcomes you to a historic mansion or a hidden courtyard… We believe that our lagniappe – a little something extra – will stay with you, calling you back to discover the mystery behind our magical city. New Orleans is and will always be a picturesque metropolitan, a culturally rich haven and an authentic experience.
