Access and arrival
31 km (19 mi) to Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 8.8 km (5.5 mi) from the centre of Rio Rancho, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Rio Rancho has 3 venues mapped in total and a population of 112,524. The Rio Rancho guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
At 6,000 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- 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.
