Access and arrival
11 km (6.8 mi) separates Dede Robertson Theatre from Norfolk International Airport (ORF) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 7.7 km (4.8 mi) from the middle of Chesapeake — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Chesapeake has 8 venues mapped in total and a population of 254,997. The Chesapeake guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
