Travel to Murphy Theatre
85 km (53 mi) to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
28 km (17 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.
The published number for the venue is +1 937-382-3643.
Xenia has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 26,067. The Xenia guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 769 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
