Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (XNA), 27 km (17 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
The centre of Fayetteville is 1.9 km (1.2 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Fayetteville has 8 venues mapped in total and a population of 103,134. The Fayetteville guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 3rd largest arena or stadium mapped in Fayetteville, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 9,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
