How attendees reach it
86 km (53 mi) to Peoria International Airport (PIA) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
52 km (32 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Burlington has 10 venues mapped in total and a population of 23,637. The Burlington guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
5,139 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.
