How attendees reach it
29 km (18 mi) separates Calihan Hall from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 12 km (7.3 mi) from the middle of Detroit — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Detroit has 93 venues mapped in total and a population of 645,705. The Detroit 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 3rd largest arena or stadium mapped in Detroit, 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 8,295 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
