Getting there

1.6 km (1 mi) out from the middle of Harrisonburg — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Harrisonburg has 9 venues mapped in total and a population of 51,164. The Harrisonburg guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 24,877 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
