Getting there
Allow half an hour each way to Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), 15 km (9.3 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
17 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.
Myrtle Beach has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 40,535. The Myrtle Beach guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
1,039 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.
