How attendees reach it

Asheville (AVL) is 60 km (37 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.

66 km (41 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.

Asheville has 43 venues mapped in total and a population of 94,992. The Asheville guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Asheville, 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 13,742 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
