How attendees reach it

At 94 km (58 mi), Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.

At 1.5 km (0.9 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

Flint has 20 venues mapped in total and a population of 79,735. The Flint guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

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.
