Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
How people reach Ajax
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is 52 km (32 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Toronto time (America/Toronto) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Whitby, Pickering and Oshawa are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Ajax has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
The ceiling is low
The largest stated capacity here is 150. Above that you are combining rooms, running sessions in shifts, or looking at Whitby.
Arrival is a half-day
52 km (32 mi) from YYZ means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
What event67 costs for a Ajax event
Suppose 150 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Ajax event sized to St. Francis Centre Theatre, the largest stated capacity in the Ajax dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 150activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 100billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$700for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Ajax does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
The largest published room holds 150, which puts Ajax in workshop, board retreat and community-meeting territory.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Ajax without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
The exhibition space here doubles as plenary space when the floor is cleared.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Ajax is set up for.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- community meetings
With 150 as the ceiling, Ajax suits a meeting people walk to rather than fly to.
