Large and midsized events, such as conventions, trade shows, conferences,
seminars, and product launches often have a
transportation factor to consider. For a larger regional, national
or international
event,
choose a city with convenient, inexpensive air and/or rail travel.
Transportation
care for guests may begin at the
airport,
with meet and greet staff directing attendees to dedicated
shuttles,
motor coaches or
limousines.
During the course of any event, a selection of these transport modes
may be required to move people from one location to another (i.e. from
an arena speaker event to smaller breakout groups at the convention
hotel).
Taxi and parking vouchers may also be provided. The event
planner also needs to consider local traffic patterns, parking,
permits, directional
signage, and maps.
