Katrina 20 Summit:
Still Standing.
Still New Orleans.
CLIENT: CITY OF NEW ORLEANS & THE OFFICE OF CULTURAL ECONOMY
On August 30th, NOCCI was honored to manage the Katrina 20 Summit at historic Gallier Hall — a day of reflection, resilience, and community marking the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. From the first planning meeting to the final breakdown, our team coordinated every detail, including logistics management, vendor sourcing and oversight, venue coordination, programming and production, onsite staffing, and post-event wrap-up. The one-day summit featured thought-provoking panels, cultural performances, and meaningful networking, reminding us all: we’re still here, we’re still standing, we’re still New Orleans.
