Getting there
Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) is 5 km (3.1 mi) away — close enough that a delayed speaker can still make an afternoon slot.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 6.8 km (4.2 mi) from the middle of Shreveport — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Shreveport has 26 venues mapped in total and a population of 176,578. The Shreveport guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 49,427 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
