Access and arrival
At 33 km (21 mi), Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Ann Arbor has 36 venues mapped in total and a population of 122,925. The Ann Arbor guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room for 6,600 is a plenary space in practice, whatever it is classified as. It ranks 6th among the 36 venues mapped in Ann Arbor.
- 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.
