Travel to Schar Center
At 70 km (43 mi), Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
6.7 km (4.2 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Burlington has 9 venues mapped in total and a population of 61,365. The Burlington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
A room for 5,100 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 2nd among the 9 venues mapped in Burlington.
- 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.
