The short answer
- NXG onlyNext Generation Events (NXG) is the only official housing company for IMSH 2027; NXG never asks you to prepay rooms or pay a deposit.
- Free shuttlesFrom the New Orleans Marriott, Sheraton New Orleans and Hilton New Orleans Riverside, daily during conference hours; routes and times come closer to the event.
- Watch outCompanies with official-sounding names such as Expo Planners or CH Planners are not affiliated; past attendees lost deposits or were relocated, SSH says.
