Getting there
Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is 5 km (3.1 mi) away — close enough that a delayed speaker can still make an afternoon slot.
At 3 km (1.9 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Albuquerque has 46 venues mapped in total and a population of 560,326. The Albuquerque guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
7,800 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
