Getting there
24 km (15 mi) separates Kenan Memorial Stadium from Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Chapel Hill has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 64,028. The Chapel Hill guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Chapel Hill, 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 24,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
