- Ardmore Convention Centersize not published
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Arrival logistics
Ardmore Downtown Executive Airport (AHD) sits 4 km (2.5 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
The city runs on Chicago time (America/Chicago). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Gainesville, Denison and Sherman are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Ardmore has nothing free on your dates.
