Getting there

Allow half an hour each way to Memphis International Airport (MEM), 10 km (6.2 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

The centre of Memphis is 5.6 km (3.5 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

Memphis has 37 venues mapped in total and a population of 610,919. The Memphis guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Formats this suits

A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
