Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Jackson-Evers International Airport (JAN), 10 km (6.2 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
The centre of Jackson is 3.5 km (2.2 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Jackson has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 141,449. The Jackson guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 60,492 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
