You're invited to IRE's 50th birthday party! Join friends old and new and help us celebrate this milestone in New-Orleans style, cruising along the mighty Mississippi.

The two-hour cruise will include live music, appetizers, pasta station, dessert and an open bar. You won't want to miss this one-of-a-kind affair!

Tickets are available only to those attending the conference. Coming to NOLA with family (or friends)? Feel free to buy additional tickets for them and bring them along. All ticket proceeds will go to our 50th anniversary fund to support IRE training programs.

When and where: We'll board the party barge on Friday, June 20, from 6 to 7 p.m., and the boat will push back at 7:00 p.m. The boat will be docked at 400 Toulouse St., about a half mile away from the conference hotel.

Cost: $95

Important Note: Tickets are non-refundable except if a hurricane is expected to land and the City of New Orleans is evacuated. If weather conditions are bad (but the city has not been evacuated) and the Coast Guard closes the Mississippi River and the Riverboat can not cruise, the party will go on as a dockside event without cruising. No refunds, no exceptions.

In addition, there are no refunds if you cancel your conference registration. You can sell your ticket to another conference attendee, but IRE staff must be informed if you do so.
