Getting there
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) is 14 km (8.7 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
At 4.8 km (3 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Wichita has 41 venues mapped in total and a population of 400,991. The Wichita guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
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 10,506 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
