How people reach Columbus
Golden Triangle Regional Airport (GTR) is 16 km (9.9 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Columbus keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Starkville, Tuscaloosa and Tupelo are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Columbus has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign

The bill for a Columbus programme

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Columbus does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

- trade shows and exhibitions

- multi-track conferences
The exhibition space here doubles as plenary space when the floor is cleared.
- association annual meetings
