How attendees reach it

Waco Regional Airport (ACT) is 14 km (8.7 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

At 3.9 km (2.4 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

Waco has 25 venues mapped in total and a population of 146,608. The Waco guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 10,284 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
