How attendees reach it
Richmond International Airport (RIC) is 11 km (6.8 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
The centre of Richmond is 2.5 km (1.6 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
The published number for the venue is +1 804-612-1900.
Richmond has 63 venues mapped in total and a population of 233,655. The Richmond guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. National Theater is 3rd of 14 such houses mapped in Richmond.
- 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.
