Access and arrival
Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) sits 5 km (3.1 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
The centre of Little Rock is 2.5 km (1.6 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Little Rock has 34 venues mapped in total and a population of 204,774. The Little Rock guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Little Rock, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 18,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
A Simmons Bank Arena programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of Simmons Bank Arena — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
