Travel to Convocation Center
101 km (63 mi) to John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
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.
What fits in this room
At 13,080 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 13,080 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
