Access and arrival
29 km (18 mi) separates Carl Lewis International Complex from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
4.4 km (2.7 mi) out from the middle of Houston — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Houston has 116 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,390,125. The Houston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room for 2,500 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 23rd among the 116 venues mapped in Houston.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
