What to Expect
Agenda
6:00am - 3:00pm Social Experience
Golf at English Turn
Hosted by Cyera
Though he's primarily known as one of the greatest golfers of all time, Jack Nicklaus is also a world-class course designer. It's a reputation upheld, in part, by his course at English Turn Golf and Country Club in New Orleans. Along with your C-level peers, you can start your trip off with a round at this par-72 course and former PGA Tour venue.
8:30am - 2:15pm Social Experience
Cruisin' the Bayou
Hosted by Google Cloud Security
Alligators, cypress trees, and a 45-mph ride through the swamps of Louisiana — all of it awaits those adventurous enough to hop aboard one of these guided, high-speed airboats. After your up-close encounter with the bayou's native plant and animal species, you and your peers will enjoy lunch at Copper Vine.
