Travel to Old Gym
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is 36 km (22 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
24 km (15 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.
Bethel Park has 11 venues mapped in total and a population of 32,376. The Bethel Park guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

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