Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Indianapolis International Airport (IND), 18 km (11 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
8.5 km (5.3 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.
Indianapolis has 63 venues mapped in total and a population of 891,484. The Indianapolis guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

A room for 5,647 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 5th among the 63 venues mapped in Indianapolis.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

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