Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Norfolk International Airport (ORF), 18 km (11 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
The centre of Hampton is 1.7 km (1.1 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Hampton has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 137,596. The Hampton guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
7,200 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
A Hampton Convocation Center programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of Hampton Convocation Center — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
