How attendees reach it
Allow half an hour each way to Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), 26 km (16 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
At 3.3 km (2.1 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Pittsburgh has 67 venues mapped in total and a population of 307,668. The Pittsburgh guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Purpose-built function space is the easiest kind of venue to run a conference in, because the rooms, the power and the load-in already assume it. Confirm which rooms are contiguous and which are on different floors — that is what decides whether your breakouts feel like one event.
- training days and workshops
Purpose-built function rooms with the power and load-in a workshop assumes.
- corporate off-sites
Off-sites, kickoffs and planning days all fit the same room set.
- leadership retreats
Smaller, quieter rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does.
