Access and arrival
64 km (40 mi) to Taos Regional Airport (TSM) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 49 km (31 mi) from the centre of Red River, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Red River has 12 venues mapped in total. The city guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
