Travel to Phil Simms Stadium
At 105 km (65 mi), Blue Grass Airport (LEX) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
67 km (42 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.
Meads has 11 venues mapped in total and a population of 288,649. The Meads 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 10,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
