• Hotel Information

    All team members have been sent their hotel confirmation details via email. Room and tax are paid for by MNTN, but personal credit cards must be put down at check-in to cover incidentals. Our hotels for the week are:

     

  • WEATHER

    Normal December temperatures in New Orleans typically range from mid-70°s during the day to low-50°s in the evening. Rain is always a possibility, so layers and proper gear is recommended!

  • TRANSPORTATION

    We offer Uber Vouchers to cover the cost of your transportation to and from your home airport, the airport in New Orleans, and as needed (within reason) around the city during the MNTN Meet. Click the link below to add this voucher to your Uber account and be sure it is selected as your payment method when booking a ride. The vouchers are valid December 7-10 only.

     

    Please note a few important usage restrictions –

    • Uber vouchers cannot be used to schedule an advanced ride. If you must schedule your ride you will have to pay for this directly and submit in an expense report.
    • Some team members have had challenges adding the tip to the voucher. If you experience this, please feel free to include the tip cost in your expense report.

    Group transportation in New Orleans will be provided for the following activities:

    Thursday Welcome Party | Departing from the ACE Hotel between 6:45 – 7:40PM, and returning to the ACE Hotel at 10PM.

    Select Saturday Experiences | Check your experience confirmation email for exact details.

  • How Should I dress?

    • Welcome Party | “I’m on a boat!” Okay really… we’re on a boat. If it’s a chilly day, it’ll be even chillier on the water. There are some indoor spaces to find warmth, but layers are recommended to keep you comfortable.
    • Company Meeting | You know the deal… wear whatever you like! The Company Meeting location is a 15-minute walk from our hotels and transportation won’t be provided, so wear sensible shoes.
    • Experiences | Check the weather, and wear what makes sense for your experience. If any specific shoe / clothing requirements are needed, these would have been noted in your confirmation email.
    • Holiday Party | Party tiiiime! Dress in whatever is festive and comfortable for you, and be ready to dance! Keep in mind that we’ll be marching through the streets to get to our venue, so comfortable shoes are recommended.

  • Credentials

    Credentials will be distributed on Thursday from 2:00 – 8:00 PM at the ACE Hotel and will be required for entrance to ALL company events including the Welcome Party, Company Meeting, and Holiday Party. Please keep this on you at all times. 

     

    This time around we’ll also be punching your badge when you pick up your swag bag and take your headshots. 

     

    In addition to being needed to gain access to all MNTN Meet activities, it’s a fantastic way to get to know your team members! Spark a conversation with someone on another team who you have yet to meet.

  • Meals

    Meals and beverages accommodating most dietary and lifestyle restrictions are provided at all company meetings and events. Meals are not provided during Free Time on Friday evening and for lunch during select Saturday experiences. For these meals, explore all of the incredible spots New Orleans has to offer! These meals may be expensed within reason.

    For helpful reference, below is a listing of meals that are and are not provided.

  • Expenses

    As always, we entrust our team members to submit expenses that are within reason and to spend the company’s money as if it were their own. You must be able to provide clear and thoughtful reasoning to every expense. Your 2 AM bar tab does not constitute thoughtful reasoning, as much as you may think in the moment that it should. 

    Examples of reasonable expenses include costs for airport parking or checked baggage, snacks at the airport on travel days, and meals during periods where they are not provided by MNTN.

     

    Bar tabs during and following company events on Thursday and Saturday are NOT to be expensed and will NOT be approved. 

    “But I was with team members! MNTN should pay for that!”: Late night bar tabs will not be approved regardless of being out with team members. To reiterate – even if you are with fellow team members having drinks after a company event, these are NOT considered a business expense and must be paid for personally. If you believe you have a situation that requires an exception, please message Jamie, Anna, or your manager.

     

    Friday Free Time – All team members have a $50 per diem for dinner, inclusive of tax and gratuity. Anything outside of this amount must be paid for personally. On Friday, no expenses are to be submitted past 10 PM.

    Receipts – Pictures of receipts are required. We recommend you take a photo of your receipt as soon as you sign your check to avoid issues. Pictures of your bank statement will not be accepted.

     

    To recap –

    • Be responsible and able to provide thoughtful reasoning to every expense.
    • Photos of receipts are required for every expense. Bank statements will not be accepted.
    • No bar tabs to be expensed following the Welcome Party on Thursday, which ends at 10 PM.
    • Do not expense breakfast on Friday as we have this available at the Company Meeting.
    • Friday Free Time dinners have a $50 per person limit. No expenses to be submitted past 10 PM.
    • Do not expense breakfast on Saturday as we have this available before Experiences.
    • No bar tabs to be expensed following the Holiday Party on Saturday, which ends at 10 PM.
    • You may not expense anything from the hotel mini bars.

    Reimbursement – Following the event, please use the Concur website to process your reimbursements. Make sure you click on the Event dropdown and choose “New Orleans” for these expenses. All expense reports must be submitted NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 15TH. This is the very last date you will be eligible for expense reimbursement. This is not flexible. Do not be late in submitting your report.
