Access and arrival
At 36 km (22 mi), George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 17 km (10 mi) from the middle of Houston — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Houston has 116 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,390,125. The Houston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Sharp Gymnasium is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
The app bill, at this size
Take 240 people through the door in Sharp Gymnasium — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Houston. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
