How attendees reach it
90 km (56 mi) to Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
The centre of Topeka is 2.4 km (1.5 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Topeka has 21 venues mapped in total and a population of 125,467. The Topeka guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 11th of 21 venues mapped in Topeka.
- 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.
