Travel to Palacio de los Deportes
Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez (MEX) sits 4 km (2.5 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
The centre of Mexico City is 3.9 km (2.4 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Mexico City has 182 venues mapped in total and a population of 9,209,944. The Mexico City 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 20,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
