Travel to Strahan Arena
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) is 42 km (26 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
Being 1 km (0.6 mi) from the middle of San Marcos means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
San Marcos has 15 venues mapped in total and a population of 74,316. The San Marcos guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in San Marcos, 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 10,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
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.
