About this venue
It sits in State College, right in the centre of State College.

A stated 30,000 puts this in arena territory: general sessions and keynotes fit, breakouts need somewhere else.

Travel to New Beaver Field
State College Regional Airport (SCE) sits 6 km (3.7 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
Being 0.9 km (0.6 mi) from the middle of State College means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
State College has 37 venues mapped in total and a population of 41,228. The State College 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 30,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
