Access and arrival
Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK) is 9 km (5.6 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Manhattan has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 54,700. The Manhattan guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 5,000 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
