New Orleans is one of the biggest names in the convention business, home to one of the largest single exhibit halls in the entire country and a regular fixture near the top of national rankings for meetings and trade shows. It’s also a city with a personality unlike anywhere else on this list, equal parts business and celebration, which makes it a strong match for a corporate mentalist and mind reader show that thrives on audience energy.
John Pullum brings his corporate mentalism and mind reading show to New Orleans for conferences, sales meetings, and corporate events looking for something that matches the city’s reputation for a good time without losing the polish a corporate audience expects. A New Orleans crowd tends to already be primed for something memorable, and a mentalist and mind reader show delivers that without needing a stage full of props or a magic trick to explain afterward.
Sales Conference Entertainment in New Orleans
Sales conference entertainment in New Orleans has a lot to live up to, given how much the city already offers after hours. A mentalist and mind reader show works well precisely because it’s built into the event itself rather than competing with everything happening outside the ballroom doors. It gives a sales team a shared moment mid-conference, something to talk about between sessions, before they ever hit the French Quarter that night.
The Venue
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center sits right along the Mississippi River and is genuinely one of the largest facilities of its kind in the country, with over a million square feet of contiguous exhibit space under a single roof. It regularly ranks among the busiest convention centers in the United States for hosting major trade shows and conferences, and its riverfront location puts attendees within walking distance of the French Quarter and the Warehouse District.
Getting Around
New Orleans’ convention district is compact and walkable, with most major hotels within a few blocks of the convention center itself. The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport connects to downtown by rideshare or shuttle in under half an hour, and once attendees are downtown, the streetcar line running along the riverfront makes getting between hotels, restaurants, and the convention center simple without needing a car for the length of the trip.
Beyond the Ballroom
For attendees bringing family along, New Orleans offers plenty beyond the meeting rooms, from the National WWII Museum to the aquarium and zoo, along with the food and music the city is famous for. None of that has anything to do with the show itself, since a corporate mentalist and mind reader performance isn’t family or kids’ entertainment, but it’s worth knowing there’s plenty to fill the hours outside the conference schedule.
One timing note worth planning around: Mardi Gras draws enormous crowds and pushes hotel rates up across the city, so it’s worth checking the calendar before locking in conference dates. If the timing happens to line up, though, it turns a business trip into something attendees will genuinely remember.
Booking a Mentalist in New Orleans
Planners here have plenty of options: a magician, a juggler, a comedian, a motivational keynote speaker. But a mentalist and mind reader is something most corporate audiences in New Orleans haven’t experienced before. A show for an audience in Atlanta might be different than one in Houston, and New Orleans gets that same treatment, built around whoever’s actually in the room that day. What changes the show isn’t which city John is in, it’s who’s actually sitting in front of him.
New Orleans joins the list of major U.S. convention markets where John Pullum brings his corporate mentalist and mind reader show, from Atlanta and Houston to smaller markets like Tulsa, each one built around the same idea: reading the room, not the reputation of the city. New Orleans has plenty of entertainers of its own, but companies still fly John Pullum in anyway, the same way they do for events in Las Vegas or Los Angeles, because the show is built entirely around whoever is actually in the room, not whoever happens to be nearby.
