When you combine brilliant scholars with a devoted and active fan community, the result is a fascinating and unique tale set in the headline-making city of New Orleans.

We hope you consider doing a story about this dynamic event. The organizers of Phoenix Rising hail from various parts of the world, and are happy to speak with members of the media by e-mail, by phone or in person depending on location.

High-resolution publicity photos of the organizers and New Orleans' French Quarter are available upon request.

Working media are invited to attend Phoenix Rising, though photography may be limited in a few of the formal programming sessions. Press passes issued by our staff will be required for admittance to all Phoenix Rising events.

For these and all other media needs, please download our Press Kit or contact Public Affairs Coordinator Kayla Castille at press@thephoenixrises.org.
