Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT), 23 km (14 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
16 km (10 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Wichita has 41 venues mapped in total and a population of 400,991. The Wichita 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 12,200 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
