Travel Information: Attendees are strongly advised to fly into Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport and NOT New Orleans International Airport; the distance from New Orleans to Baton Rouge is approximately 70 miles, and there is no public transportation. On arriving in Baton Rouge, guests who are staying at the Hilton may summon a free hotel shuttle by calling (225)-344-5866 and then dialing 0 (it will take about 15 minutes to arrive), or take an Uber or taxi to the Hilton, about a 15- minute drive away. Attendees who do choose to fly into New Orleans will do best to rent a car for the drive to and from Baton Rouge (about 1 hours 15 minutes, depending on traffic).
