Access and arrival
106 km (66 mi) to Kansas City International Airport (MCI) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 50 km (31 mi) from the middle of Gardner — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Gardner has 3 venues mapped in total and a population of 25,836. The Gardner guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 1st of 3 venues mapped in Gardner.
- 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.
The app bill, at this size
Take 240 people through the door in The Plaza Grill and Cinema — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Gardner. 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.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- 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.
