How attendees reach it
Columbus Airport (CSG) is 52 km (32 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Auburn has 12 venues mapped in total and a population of 83,757. The Auburn guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
A room for 7,550 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 4th among the 12 venues mapped in Auburn.
- 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.
