The building
It stands at 1328 Montana Avenue, right in the centre of Santa Monica.
Aero Theatre was opened in 1940 and operated by American Cinematheque, which puts it at 86 years old.
A stated 427 makes this a breakout or workshop room rather than a plenary space.

Access and arrival
13 km (8.1 mi) separates Aero Theatre from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Santa Monica has 26 venues mapped in total and a population of 90,729. The Santa Monica guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Aero Theatre is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
- community meetings
Room for 427 covers most community and member meetings.
