Travel to Palace Theatre
10 km (6.2 mi) separates Palace Theatre from John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Columbus has 70 venues mapped in total and a population of 933,263. The Columbus guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
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. Palace Theatre is 1st of 8 such houses mapped in Columbus.
- 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.
