Access and arrival
14 km (8.7 mi) separates Liacouras Center from Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
At 3.1 km (1.9 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Philadelphia has 132 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,573,916. The Philadelphia guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 10,206 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 10,206 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
