Access and arrival

Allow half an hour each way to Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), 23 km (14 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

Being 0.6 km (0.4 mi) from the middle of Pittsburgh means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

Pittsburgh has 67 venues mapped in total and a population of 307,668. The Pittsburgh guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

The kind of event it takes

At 18,387 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 18,387 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
