How attendees reach it

At 34 km (21 mi), George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.

At 9.7 km (6 mi) from the centre of Houston, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.

Houston has 116 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,390,125. The Houston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

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 62,439 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
