Getting there
11 km (6.8 mi) separates King Opera House from Fort Smith Regional Airport (FSM) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
At 7.7 km (4.8 mi) from the centre of Fort Smith, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Fort Smith has 20 venues mapped in total and a population of 90,507. The Fort Smith guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
