How attendees reach it

Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) is 16 km (9.9 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

Being 0.3 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Durham means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

Durham has 25 venues mapped in total and a population of 301,870. The Durham guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Durham Performing Arts Center is 1st of 3 such houses mapped in Durham.

  • 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.
