Travel to Gibbs Stadium
94 km (58 mi) to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
Being 1.4 km (0.9 mi) from the middle of Spartanburg means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Spartanburg has 35 venues mapped in total and a population of 39,606. The Spartanburg guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
At 13,000 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 13,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
