Travel to Lawlor Events Center
7 km (4.3 mi) to Reno–Tahoe International Airport (RNO). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
The centre of Reno is 1.8 km (1.1 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Reno has 29 venues mapped in total and a population of 281,714. The Reno guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Reno, 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 11,536 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
