New Orleans Morial Convention Center, convention center in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

The New Orleans Morial Convention Center is a long building along Convention Center Boulevard, its pale gray panel facade crossed by thin red lines and two wide red bands. Red three-dimensional letters mounted above the glass entrances read "ERNEST N. MORIAL CONVENTION CENTER NEW ORLEANS", and thick gray cylindrical columns support the overhang. The front of the main building runs about 1 kilometer.

Planning for the center began in 1978, and its first portion was built as part of the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. Additions in later decades extended it upriver. It was named for Ernest N. Morial, the city's first African American mayor, in 1992, and renamed the New Orleans Morial Convention Center in 2008.

The center is named for Ernest N. Morial, the city's first African American mayor, honored in 1992; in 2008 it was renamed New Orleans Morial Convention Center to stress its location. Its halls have hosted the 71st Miss Universe competition in January 2023 and the Super Bowl Experience in 2025.

The main building's frontage runs about 1 km along Convention Center Blvd, with the lower end of Building 1 set 500 m upriver from Canal Street on the Mississippi bank. Hall A's 2013 revamp added a new entrance on the Julia Street side, useful for reaching the Great Hall. A 1,000-room Omni headquarters hotel is planned to anchor the complex.

The center's main building runs about 1 kilometer along the Mississippi, and its lower end stands 1,640 feet upriver from Canal Street. It was named in 1992 for Ernest N. Morial, the city's first African American mayor, and renamed in 2008 to stress its New Orleans location.
