Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to Columbia Regional Airport (COU), 16 km (9.9 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
The centre of Columbia is 2 km (1.2 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Columbia has 49 venues mapped in total and a population of 130,900. The Columbia guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
At 13,611 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 13,611 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
