Access and arrival
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is 22 km (14 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
Being 0.7 km (0.4 mi) from the middle of Pittsburgh means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Pittsburgh has 67 venues mapped in total and a population of 307,668. The Pittsburgh guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 1,300 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
