Access and arrival
15 km (9.3 mi) separates Alltech Arena from Blue Grass Airport (LEX) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
13 km (8.3 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Lexington-Fayette has 28 venues mapped in total and a population of 329,437. The Lexington-Fayette guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
This is one of 3 exhibition and convention venues mapped in Lexington-Fayette, and the class matters more than the size: a hall is a floor you subdivide, which is a different purchase from a room you fill with chairs.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
