Getting there
Peoria International Airport (PIA) is 86 km (53 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
At 52 km (32 mi) from the centre of Burlington, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Burlington has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 23,637. The Burlington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
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 17,168 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
