Access and arrival
115 km (71 mi) to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
2.2 km (1.4 mi) out from the middle of Macon — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Macon has 17 venues mapped in total and a population of 157,056. The Macon guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 3,500 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- 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.
