Travel to The Muni
Allow half an hour each way to Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport (SPI), 14 km (8.7 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
8.6 km (5.3 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
The published number for the venue is +1-217-793-6864.
Springfield has 22 venues mapped in total and a population of 112,949. The Springfield guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
A worked example for The Muni
Take 240 people through the door in The Muni — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Springfield. 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.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for 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.
