On-site Press Room

The Press Room, R06-07, is on the second floor of the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. From the main lobby take the escalator up and cross over the exhibit hall on the elevated walkway to the R rooms. The press rooms can also be accessed from the escalators behind AGU Central. Maps of the Convention Center can be found in the online portal and the app.

The Press Room provides working space for press registrants, including computer terminals and printers, Wi-Fi and internet hard drops, electrical outlets and space for working and socializing. Quiet rooms are available for carrying out interviews and other focused work where a quiet workspace is necessary. Reservations, given in 30-minute increments, are required to use quiet rooms. Sign up on-site in the Press Room (R0-R07).

Approved press registrants should check-in and pick up their green press ribbons in the main Press Room upon arrival.

On-site members of the press will need to bring a laptop or other device and wired headphones with a microphone to view and participate in press events. On-site members can meet with on-site press event panelists after most press events in the R05 Quiet Room; specific instructions for this will be given in each press event.
