Access and arrival
31 km (19 mi) to Rafael Hernández Airport (BQN) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
Being 1.4 km (0.9 mi) from the middle of Mayagüez means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Mayagüez has 17 venues mapped in total and a population of 73,077. The Mayagüez guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room for 5,500 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 4th among the 17 venues mapped in Mayagüez.
- 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.
