Access and arrival
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) sits 6 km (3.7 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
Being 0.5 km (0.3 mi) from the middle of Phoenix means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Phoenix has 65 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,673,164. The Phoenix guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
As a convention centre this is built for floors rather than seats — exhibitions, trade shows and multi-track conferences where the hall is subdivided. Ask for the hall sheet with column spacing and load-in doors before you commit to a booth plan.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
The app bill, at this size
A Phoenix Convention Center South programme at 240 activated attendees — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Phoenix — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
