Travel to WMU Student Center
67 km (42 mi) to Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
The centre of Kalamazoo is 2.4 km (1.5 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.
Kalamazoo has 17 venues mapped in total and a population of 73,290. The Kalamazoo guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room

- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
