Travel to Murphy Center
Nashville International Airport (BNA) is 41 km (25 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
The centre of Murfreesboro is 2 km (1.2 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Murfreesboro has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 168,387. The Murfreesboro guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
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 11,520 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
