Access and arrival
28 km (17 mi) separates Alabama Theatre from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
5.3 km (3.3 mi) out from the middle of Houston — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Houston has 116 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,390,125. The Houston 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 Alabama 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.
