How attendees reach it
Allow half an hour each way to Charleston International Airport (CHS), 13 km (8.1 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
3.7 km (2.3 mi) out from the middle of Charleston — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Charleston has 43 venues mapped in total and a population of 157,665. The Charleston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
At 6,000 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- 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.
