How attendees reach it

14 km (8.7 mi) separates El Rey Theatre from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — 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 — 9.8 km (6.1 mi) from the middle of Los Angeles — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.

Los Angeles has 261 venues mapped in total and a population of 3,878,704. The Los Angeles guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.

  • 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.
