Travel to Poteau Community Building
Fort Smith Regional Airport (FSM) is 39 km (24 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.

What fits in this room
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Poteau Community Building is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
