Travel to Iowa Field
29 km (18 mi) separates Iowa Field from The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
Being 0.8 km (0.5 mi) from the middle of Iowa City means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Iowa City has 13 venues mapped in total and a population of 76,710. The Iowa City guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Iowa City, 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 30,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.

- 900billable, after the first 50 are free

- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
