How attendees reach it
At 67 km (42 mi), Vancouver International Airport (YVR) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
The centre of Bellingham is 4 km (2.5 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Bellingham has 12 venues mapped in total and a population of 95,860. The Bellingham guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
1,200 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.
