Getting there
Charleston International Airport (CHS) is 16 km (9.9 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
Being 1.2 km (0.7 mi) from the middle of Charleston means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Charleston has 43 venues mapped in total and a population of 157,665. The Charleston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
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. Gaillard Center is 6th of 6 such houses mapped in Charleston.
- 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.
