Access and arrival

The centre of Lexington-Fayette is 2.7 km (1.7 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Lexington-Fayette has 28 venues mapped in total and a population of 329,437. The Lexington-Fayette guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 530 of them. 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.
