FICP Annual Conference 2026

The conference takes place at Hyatt Regency New Orleans in New Orleans, LA.

It is most useful for meeting planners in financial and insurance firms who source hotels and destinations, since the sponsor list is dominated by hospitality brands such as Four Seasons, Loews, Omni and Auberge Resorts, and speakers include planners from Commonwealth and sales leaders from Accor. Planners outside financial services would find the peer content less relevant, and suppliers without a hospitality or destination offer may find fewer buyers than at a general meetings-industry show.

Meeting and incentive professionals at industry conferences usually wear business casual to smart casual, with a blazer for evening functions. New Orleans in mid-November is typically mild, so light layers work.
