Also at the conference, President Brent Schmick proudly announced that New Orleans would be the site of the next BounceU annual convention. Schmick commented on the choice: “New Orleans is a great cultural center for our country, and it has certainly endured its share of hardships as a result of hurricanes in the region. We are so proud to bring the BounceU family to this great city in 2009, and are happy to be able to support the local economy with our next annual convention.”
