Getting there
97 km (60 mi) to Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 3.1 km (1.9 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Morgantown has 17 venues mapped in total and a population of 30,490. The Morgantown guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 3rd largest arena or stadium mapped in Morgantown, 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 14,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
