Access and arrival
52 km (32 mi) to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 2.1 km (1.3 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Kent has 11 venues mapped in total and a population of 27,720. The Kent guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 1,500 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- 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.
