Travel to McKenny Hall
23 km (14 mi) separates McKenny Hall from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
10 km (6.3 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Ann Arbor has 36 venues mapped in total and a population of 122,925. The Ann Arbor guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
A worked example for McKenny Hall
Take 240 people through the door in McKenny Hall — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Ann Arbor. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.
