How attendees reach it
Waterloo Regional Airport (ALO) sits 7 km (4.3 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
2.2 km (1.4 mi) out from the middle of Cedar Falls — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Cedar Falls has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 41,417. The Cedar Falls 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 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Cedar Falls, 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 16,324 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
