Getting there
25 km (16 mi) separates Wortham Theater Center from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Houston has 116 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,390,125. The Houston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Wortham Theater Center is 10th of 19 such houses mapped in Houston.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
