Wrapping up the conference on a high note, we traveled to Jean Lafitte for a swamp tour and a crawfish boil. Cruising through the lush Louisiana scenery, we encountered some quirky wildlife and got a taste of the area's rich history. It wasn't just a wrap-up, but a chance for everyone to kick back, connect, and enjoy the laid-back beauty of the swamp. The Jean Lafitte swamp tour turned our conference memories into a cool Louisiana experience that none of us will be forgetting anytime soon.
