Join us for an up-close and personal discussion with the leading candidates in the New Orleans Mayoral race. No panel debates, no stump speeches, just an opportunity to get face-to-face with the challengers and discuss the stuff that matters.

When Trumpet purchased The Icehouse in 2007, one of the visions was to create a base that could serve the New Orleans community. Not only with the great ideas that would percolate from a place built for collaboration, nor just a home for a collection of unique and varying perspectives on business, community and living. We saw a need for a community development space, where gatherings of all sorts could be held in participation with friends and neighbors in this experience and generally move New Orleans forward.

So, as we approached what will arguably be the most important election in New Orleans history, we partnered with fellow Icehouser, The Urban Conservancy (Stay Local!). Seems they had similar feelings. Together we’ve put together a series of events for the community to get up-close and personal with the candidates in a more real, personal way. Not a debate, not a speech. Just a conversation over pizza and soft drinks. There will be no agenda and no set list of questions. We’ll just let the conversation go where it wants to. After all, that’s how the world really works, right?
