How attendees reach it

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is 105 km (65 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.

At 1.9 km (1.2 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

Cookeville has 16 venues mapped in total and a population of 37,102. The Cookeville guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Cookeville, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 9,282 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
