How attendees reach it
21 km (13 mi) separates Canadian Tire Centre from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Kanata has 9 venues mapped in total and a population of 90,000. The Kanata guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
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 19,153 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
