How attendees reach it
Allow half an hour each way to Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG), 13 km (8.1 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
At 8.4 km (5.2 mi) from the centre of Winnipeg, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Winnipeg has 43 venues mapped in total and a population of 749,607. The Winnipeg guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
