Getting there
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is 29 km (18 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Detroit has 93 venues mapped in total and a population of 645,705. The Detroit guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
This is one of 2 exhibition and convention venues mapped in Detroit, and the class matters more than the size: a hall is a floor you subdivide, which is a different purchase from a room you fill with chairs.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
