As New Orleans insiders, we know who's here.
Event Specialists of New Orleans has the combined expertise of 32 years of event planning in New Orleans. In January of 2001 Event Specialists merged with Conventions a la Carte, a leader in the local event-planning arena. Since 1981, Conventions a la Carte had been servicing major corporations, convention and incentive groups.

Patty Habeeb CMP, owner of Conventions a la Carte, has been involved in the local hospitality industry for over 30 years. Patty's vision of the rapid growth in the tourism industry sparked the desire to begin her own Destination Management Company whereby she could provide a much-needed service for groups traveling to New Orleans from all over the world. She has serviced groups that range in size from 20 to 8,000. She holds the accreditation of Certified Meeting Planner and continues to be involved in the operations of Event Specialists.

Renee Ganucheau, President and co-owner of Event Specialists, brings a great deal of special event planning experience to the business having served as Executive Director of the Louisiana Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Renee's primary goal for 10 years with this national organization was to produce events utilizing the most cost-effective means thereby resulting in more funding for an important organization.

These efforts of good will and fiduciary responsibility remain an integral part of Event Specialists' philosophy to provide the most comprehensive and exclusive personal service at the best value.

Renee also manages and produces the Manning Football Experience. Co-owned by Event Specialists and Archie Manning, the MFE is a hands-on, interactive football program that takes the basic skills of football – pass, catch and kick – and creates a fun source of entertainment during corporate meetings and conventions.

Renee has an experienced team of MFE staff who serve as accredited high school football referees during the Fall and come out to put the “fun in football” for our conventioneers during all times of the year.

A native of New Orleans, Renee received her Bachelor of Arts from Nicholls State University, just a short drive ‘down the Bayou’ from the heart of the city she loves. She is a member and serves on the Board of Directors for the Hospitality Education & Networking Association. She is also a member of the Gulf States Chapter of Meeting Professionals International and the Association of Destination Management Executives.
