Access and arrival
9 km (5.6 mi) separates Manhattan Arts Center from Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
Being 0.9 km (0.6 mi) from the middle of Manhattan means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Manhattan has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 54,700. The Manhattan guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Manhattan Arts Center is 1st of 2 such houses mapped in Manhattan.
- 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.
