Access and arrival

13 km (8.1 mi) separates Shea's Performing Arts Center from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.

Buffalo has 36 venues mapped in total and a population of 276,617. The Buffalo guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

The kind of event it takes

At 3,019 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.

  • networking mixers

    An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.

  • fundraisers and galas

    A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.

  • community meetings

    Room for 3,019 covers most community and member meetings.
