I'll tell you now what I intend to tell attendees when we open the conference (based on our doing work with 4 different local police departments and the New Orleans 911 system):
1 - Regarding New Orleans crime, (as Todd said) our stats are higher than the national average. There are no "buts" to this. The nature of the violent crime is mostly outside of the tourist areas.
2 - The venue of Harrah's was chosen specifically because I consider it very safe and it is in a tourist area - next to a large casino with security.
3 - We have around the venue a police presence and plenty of lighting while walking in the evening in the casino area.
4 - I normally tell people to be off Bourbon Street by 1 am (and yes 11 pm is even better)- because things do change after 1 am on Bourbon Street.
5 - Don't get drunk. I've seen more than my share of tourist sitting against a wall at 8 am completely wasted.
6 - Stay with others - but if you stay at our hotel or in the area of the casino you can certainly walk alone and you will have plenty of light at night.
As far as tourist things to do, I am going to try and get a private evening tour of the World War II museum for the group (fees may apply) - which is the top rated attraction in the city.
So, I consider the venue area as very safe and will bring my wife and Team members to the area. That said, like most places if you are looking for trouble you can find that too.
If you want more details, click this link to the New Orleans tourist commission on visitor safety: Visitor Safety | New Orleans
We're looking forward to a safe, informative and great Magic software conference here in New Orleans, and hope you can join us. If anyone has any detailed questions, you can call me at 504 885-8686 during office hours.
Thank you,
Charles

Craig and anyone considering attending Brown Bag 2023,
There is no disputing that New Orleans' crime rate is higher than
the national average. That being said, one must dive into the
statistics of where and when crimes are occurring.
Brown Bag will be held in the heart of the tourist area where the
city government has a vested interested in continuing to attract
tourist/convention dollars by keeping the area safe. This is no
different than New York City which has a cop on every corner in
Times Square. In both cities, you can certainly find trouble if you
go looking for it.
I have been to NO 5 times and explored quite a bit of the downtown
during the day on my own and have never had a bad experience. That
being said, a tourist should always be aware of their surroundings
and not invite crimes of opportunity. I always advise friends and
family that visit NYC (or any other city) to:
1. Leave the jewelry at home. No need to attract barracudas with
shiny objects.
2. Fanny packs instead of purses.
3. Wallets in the front pockets
4. Don't stop for strangers, regardless of the story being spun.
The person talking to you is usually the distraction for the person
who is going to pick your pocket.
5. When stopping to take a picture or send/read a text message,
stand with your back against a wall.
6. Always be with one or more people. Being alone in an unfamiliar
place is never a good idea.
7. Be home by 11:00pm.
8. Staying out late and drinking too much is a recipe for disaster.
Play it safe.
There are a number of fantastic tours available for
spouses/significant others that will pick you up at the hotel or are
a short walk away. The history of New Orleans is incredible. The
World War II Museum is not to be missed. Riverboat tours are also
available within a five minute walk from the hotel. And don't
forget the music!
We generally go out as group for dinner, but there is no obligation
to do so. Charles knows all the best places to a get a more local
experience.
We have been known to crash a Bourbon St parade, but this kind of
thing can't be planned.

Not like I am Ambassador for all things US or anything but you

It's my view that, indeed, parts of the US and its people are
messed up and the concern is valid, but that, if you're not
crazy in the wee small hours, everything will be fine.
I plan on bringing my partner and I expect you can do the same.
Any regulars or New Orleans resident care to comment?

I will keep the page updated with registrations and session
descriptions as I receive them. Session descriptions will
not added until the person registers for the conference.
Until MSE finalizes who they are sending, I will not know
what topics will be covered on Day 1.
I have received a number of requests for session topics
including using Git for version control and working with
XPI. I am unfamiliar with these topics and will be relying
on you to cover these subjects. Please contact me privately
if you plan to attend and are willing to do a session on
either topic.
I'm trying to convince someone to do a session on curl.
Hopefully he'll come through for us.
If anyone has made extensive use of the models repository,
this would also be an interesting session.

Fellow Baggers,
Now that Charles has arranged a beautiful venue and
recruited MSE for day 1 sessions, it is my job to recruit
speakers/presenters for days 2 and 3.
The Day 2-3 content is determined by attendees who are
willing to contribute their time and effort. Because of
this approach, we are not able to take requests for
sessions. We will have a problem solving session where
attendees can present a problem to the group and get help
from the collective brain trust.
Brown Bag has always been about us (the community) helping
each other by sharing our wisdom and has been a success
because of your contributions.
Please contact me privately with ideas for a
presentations. Session times are free flowing, so don't
worry about a minimum or maximum time for a session.
Sometimes Q&A can take an unexpected direction (always
in a good way). You will not be cut off because of a time
limit. Everyone has something to contribute. This is an
extremely friendly group, please don't be concerned with
public speaking.
I'll kick off the session offerings with:
Todd - XPA 4.8 RIA Android offline interactive maps in a
browser control that communicate with the Magic
application on the tablet/phone. This solution does not
use the Google Maps API. Even if you don't have a GIS
requirement for your mobile app, this session may br
helpful in developing offline capabilities for your RIA
Mobile application
I'll be maintaining the attendee and session list on a yet
to be determined web site. I'll send a link as soon as it
is ready.
Wednesday night dinner at Desi Vega's Steakhouse has
become a Brown Bag New Orleans tradition. Please plan on
it if you are not departing until Thursday.
If you are a first time visitor to New Orleans, the music
and food are incredible, something for everyone. If you
have any interest in history, I encourage you to visit the
National World War II museum. It is within walking
distance of the hotel.

Magicians,
Our recent survey indicated just over 50% of the
responses chose New Orleans for the Conference over
the two other cities offered. Planning for Brown Bag
New Orleans 2023 is now complete (and the call for
speakers and content planning is in process). We
intend to make this a spectacular training event for
Magicians who attend.
Event and hotel registration links are here: MagicDeveloper.NET
We will also post news and updates on content on this
same site as well as pictures of past events. (https://magicdeveloper.net)
Todd insisted we keep costs low in the spirit of Brown
Bag. To attend the conference is $199.00 for 3 days
of Magic training and content. The really nice hotel
we will be at is Harrah's New Orleans with rooms for
$199.00/night not including resort fee or taxes (total
should be approximately $249.00/night all in). For
those of you who attended Brown Bag New Orleans in the
past, this is on the same downtown street as before,
but much closer to the Mississippi River (2 blocks
away).
We have been told by Magic Software that they will
support the conference as in the past by providing Day
1 speakers. A big thank you to Magic for their
continued support of Brown Bag.
Day 2 and 3 will be attendee driven sessions also as
in the past that have proven popular.
We do ask that if you are attending from out of town,
that you stay at the conference hotel which again is
Harrah's New Orleans and make your hotel reservations
prior to 2/17/2023 (our room cut-off date), as we have
a contractual room night financial commitment to meet
(which is how we get the also nice meeting space).
There will be no steaming or on-line options (we're
all volunteers who put this on).
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans in March
2023.
Thanks,

contribute. This is an extremely friendly group, please don't be
concerned with public speaking.
I'll kick off the session offerings with:
Todd - XPA 4.8 RIA Android offline interactive maps in a browser
control that communicate with the Magic application on the
tablet/phone. This solution does not use the Google Maps API.
Even if you don't have a GIS requirement for your mobile app, this
session may br helpful in developing offline capabilities for
your RIA Mobile application
I'll be maintaining the attendee and session list on a yet to be
determined web site. I'll send a link as soon as it is ready.
Wednesday night dinner at Desi Vega's Steakhouse has become a
Brown Bag New Orleans tradition. Please plan on it if you are not
departing until Thursday.
If you are a first time visitor to New Orleans, the music and food
are incredible, something for everyone. If you have any interest
in history, I encourage you to visit the National World War II
museum. It is within walking distance of the hotel. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/

Magicians,
Our recent survey indicated just over 50% of the responses
chose New Orleans for the Conference over the two other cities
offered. Planning for Brown Bag New Orleans 2023 is now
complete (and the call for speakers and content planning is in
process). We intend to make this a spectacular training event
for Magicians who attend.
Event and hotel registration links are here: MagicDeveloper.NET
We will also post news and updates on content on this same
site as well as pictures of past events. (https://magicdeveloper.net)
Todd insisted we keep costs low in the spirit of Brown Bag.
To attend the conference is $199.00 for 3 days of Magic
training and content. The really nice hotel we will be at is
Harrah's New Orleans with rooms for $199.00/night not
including resort fee or taxes (total should be approximately
$249.00/night all in). For those of you who attended Brown
Bag New Orleans in the past, this is on the same downtown
street as before, but much closer to the Mississippi River (2
blocks away).
We have been told by Magic Software that they will support the
conference as in the past by providing Day 1 speakers. A big
thank you to Magic for their continued support of Brown Bag.
Day 2 and 3 will be attendee driven sessions also as in the
past that have proven popular.
We do ask that if you are attending from out of town, that you
stay at the conference hotel which again is Harrah's New
Orleans and make your hotel reservations prior to 2/17/2023
(our room cut-off date), as we have a contractual room night
financial commitment to meet (which is how we get the also
nice meeting space). There will be no steaming or on-line
options (we're all volunteers who put this on).
We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans in March 2023.
Thanks,
Charles Coe and Todd Baremore
