People in Louisiana have continually struggled to control the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico. From French and Spanish explorers to current multinational corporations, control over exporting and importing goods was—and remains—critical to Louisiana’s permanence and success. At HNOC’s 2025 History Symposium, a vibrant slate of speakers will trace the development of Louisiana’s ports and maritime traffic, exploring the dynamics between commerce and environmental security, labor and profits, and the assimilation of workers into a port city.Tickets are available with a suggested price of $75 (minimum $25)
Add-on activities, not included in the standard registration fee and available for an additional fee, include a guided tour of the Port of New Orleans and a private lunch in the 12th Night Room at Antoine’s Restaurant.
