| The Data Center, in partnership with the New Orleans Business Alliance, is hosting a Forum to explore The Data Center’s most recent reports, The New Orleans Prosperity Index: Tricentennial Edition and The Tricentennial Collection. This one-day conference will bring together individuals from the public and private sector, including business leaders, community leaders, policymakers, decisionmakers, journalists, and scholars to learn more about the data and implications of The Data Center’s newest report. Through focused breakout sessions, we hope to bring together a diverse cross-section of New Orleans to discuss key findings behind the research and inform development of actionable recommendations that address systems contributing to disparities in New Orleans. It is our hope that the NOLA 300 Forum for Progress and Prosperity in New Orleans is a step forward on the road to building a city that harnesses an understanding of its own history and its long culture of innovation to create an inclusive and prosperous region that inspires an increasingly diverse nation to its true potential.
