Access and arrival
At 43 km (27 mi), Blue Grass Airport (LEX) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 32 km (20 mi) from the middle of Lexington — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Lexington has 15 venues mapped in total and a population of 320,347. The Lexington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 22,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
