50. April 28 – May 7, 2011 Work Week is an affiliation of business events taking place in New Orleans between the weekends of Jazz Fest. It is an alternative to the musical intoxication enveloping the city in late April and early May. It’s a holistic offer to innovative individuals – feeding the mind during the week, and the soul on the weekends. The Work Week currently comprises three separate events. Second Line, Launch Fest and Sync Up. All three events take place at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Nightly social events, and package discounts for combining events are available for attendees. The Work Week was developed in partnership with Jazz and Heritage
