Helpful Tips for Your Search
—> Despite what the venue websites may say, your venue capacity will ultimately depend on:
Your seating arrangement. For example, you will fit far fewer attendees with banquet rounds vs. classroom- or theater-style seating.
Your audio-visual layout. For example, we need to make sure there is room for screens, projectors, a tech table, and possibly a camera operator.
