A Taste of New Orleans!

Join us at the ISCT 2025 Gala for "A Taste of New Orleans"—a celebration of the city's exciting food scene. Don’t miss out on an unforgettable evening of connection and cuisine to cap off your time with us this year!

Featuring one of the most recognizable cuisines in the United States, the ISCT 2025 Gala will immerse your senses in the culinary delights of New Orleans after stimulating your mind at the ISCT 2025 Annual Meeting.

Experience the bold, irresistible flavors of Cajun and Creole cuisine, where French, Spanish, and African influences come together in every dish. Savor the essence of the Southeast U.S. with iconic plates such as gumbo and grits accompanied by crawfish étouffée, and classic Southern favorites such as chicken & waffles. For the perfect sweet ending, treat yourself to freshly fried mini beignets at the Beignet Bar or delight in the theatrical flair of Bananas Foster, expertly flamed to order. We look forward to welcoming you to experience Mardi Gras by embarking on a culinary journey that immerses you in the rich culture and history of New Orleans, one unforgettable bite at a time.

In the true spirit of celebration, prepare for a night of dancing to one of New Orleans’ standout live bands alongside your peers and colleagues! Book your tickets now and prepare for the celebration of the year.

Please note that due to the nature of the menu options available we are unfortunately not able to accommodate certain dietary preferences.
