Getting there
Albany International Airport (ALB) is 11 km (6.8 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Albany has 30 venues mapped in total and a population of 101,317. The Albany guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
4,300 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
