Getting there
18 km (11 mi) separates El Kraken from General Rafael Buelna International Airport (MZT) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
At 7.2 km (4.5 mi) from the centre of Mazatlán, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Mazatlán has 7 venues mapped in total and a population of 501,441. The Mazatlán guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Mazatlán, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 20,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
