Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to San Antonio International Airport (SAT), 16 km (9.9 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
At 22 km (13 mi) from the centre of San Antonio, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.

The kind of event it takes
4,080 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- 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.
