Health & Safety

ASBO International looks forward to welcoming attendees to New Orleans, Louisiana, in January! We encourage all conference participants to continue to check this page for the latest health and safety information for this year’s conference.

Safety Measures While Onsite

In the event safety protocols are implemented onsite, all attendees will be asked to participate in and abide by ASBO's guidelines.

If you have a safety or security concern, please stop by the registration desk located on Level 2 in the foyer of the Maison & Lafayette Ballrooms.

In the event of a medical or security emergency, please review the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans Informational Security Guide. If you need to call for help in an emergency or incident that requires immediate assistance, you can contact the Loss Prevention/Security Dept. by dialing “12500”, “66”, or “0” from any phone in the facility. All phones located on the elevator landing dial directly to the operator, who will assist you in reporting your emergency. The hotel’s safety team will ensure assistance is provided immediately and can alert local authorities to the precise location of any incident faster than calling 911 directly.
