What the record holds
It sits in Athens, right in the centre of Athens.
Peden Stadium was opened in 1929 and operated by Ohio University, which puts it at 97 years old.
24,000 seats is arena scale, so it works as a plenary room with breakouts hosted nearby.

How attendees reach it
John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is 101 km (63 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Athens has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 24,824. The Athens guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Athens, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 24,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
