How attendees reach it
86 km (53 mi) to Memphis International Airport (MEM) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 1.5 km (0.9 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Oxford has 12 venues mapped in total and a population of 26,801. The Oxford guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 2nd largest arena or stadium mapped in Oxford, 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 9,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
