NOEW Crossover Programming

New Orleans Book Festival | NOEW

The New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University and New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW) partnered in 2024 to hold their events during the same week in March. The partnership offered attendees more of what they already expect from each event while showcasing New Orleans as a destination for exploring new thinking, intellectual pursuits, and professional opportunities.

ABOUT THE CROSSOVER

The 2024 New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University ran from March 14-16 and brought best-selling authors and thought leaders to Tulane’s uptown campus for a multi-day celebration, including Family Day on Saturday, March 16. A true “Mardi Gras for the Mind,” the festival convened over 90+ readings, panel discussions and keynote speeches. 

New Orleans Entrepreneur Week (NOEW) – or “noh-wee!” as the locals pronounce it – kicked off Monday, March 11, and concluding on Saturday, March 16.
