What Hollywood Bowl is
It sits in Los Angeles, 11 km (6.9 mi) from the centre of Los Angeles.
Hollywood Bowl was opened in 1922, operated by Los Angeles Philharmonic and owned by County of Los Angeles, which puts it at 104 years old.
17,500 seats is arena scale, so it works as a plenary room with breakouts hosted nearby.

Getting there
20 km (12 mi) separates Hollywood Bowl from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
At 11 km (6.9 mi) from the centre of Los Angeles, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Los Angeles has 261 venues mapped in total and a population of 3,878,704. The Los Angeles guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
At 17,500 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 17,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
