How do I get to AACTWorldFest 2014?

We have three official "ports of call."

  • Tampa International Airport (TPA), located approximately 65 minutes north of Venice.
  • Somewhat closer (approximately 35-40 minutes) and also available as a port of entry is Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport (SRQ).
  • Fort Myers (RSW) is 80 minutes south of Venice.
Those attending AACTWorldFest generally will find more connections and less-expensive rates through TPA.

Also within driving distance are PIE (St. Petersburg/Clearwater-75 minutes) and ORL (Orlando-2 hours-plus).  Miami and/or Ft. Lauderdale are not recommended; they are a 3-4 hours' drive.

Let us know when you are arriving and departing. We’ll help you get to Venice at little or no expense! Or you can rent a car at the airport and enjoy travelling freedom for the entire week. US car rentals are very reasonably priced.
