Access and arrival
110 km (68 mi) to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
East Lansing has 11 venues mapped in total and a population of 48,964. The East Lansing guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in East Lansing, 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 14,797 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
