How attendees reach it

At 100 km (62 mi), John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.

A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.

Athens has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 24,824. The Athens guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

A room for 1,000 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 3rd among the 18 venues mapped in Athens.

  • 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.
