Pittcon 2007 Announces Move from New Orleans to Chicago

25 February-1 MarchThe Pittsburgh Conference announced that Pittcon 2007 would be moved from New Orleans to Chicago. Dates of the event are February. 25 to March 1, 2007. At the same time, the committee confirmed its commitment to return the conference to New Orleans in 2008 as planned. Before announcing its decision, the Pittcon Committee met with the New Orleans Convention Bureau officials, various local civic and business leaders, and visited the city in person to assess city infrastructure, safety, transportation, housing and hospitality. “Despite considerable progress in rebuilding its infrastructure and revitalizing support services, New Orleans continues to face significant marketing challenges in rebuilding its image,” said Kevin McKaveney, Pittcon President and Chairman of the Board. “We believe that moving Pittcon 2007 to Chicago will give New Orleans adequate time to reshape its image and pave the way for a successful return in 2008.” More information about Pittcon can be found at the web site: www.pittcon.org.
