Access and arrival
14 km (8.7 mi) separates John M. Parker Agricultural Coliseum from Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
At 4.2 km (2.6 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Baton Rouge has 41 venues mapped in total and a population of 220,907. The Baton Rouge guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
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 12,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
