Getting there
15 km (9.3 mi) separates The Diamond from Richmond International Airport (RIC) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
2 km (1.2 mi) out from the middle of Richmond — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Richmond has 63 venues mapped in total and a population of 233,655. The Richmond guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
At 12,134 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 12,134 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
