Access and arrival
5 km (3.1 mi) to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.
5 km (3.1 mi) out from the middle of Kenner — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Kenner has 6 venues mapped in total and a population of 64,650. The Kenner guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room for 3,600 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 2nd among the 6 venues mapped in Kenner.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
