Top of the capacity range
Nothing in Alexandria is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 15,971 seats, at Harry Turpin Stadium.
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.
Travel, time zone and arrival
Alexandria International Airport (AEX) sits 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Opelousas, Lafayette and Monroe are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Alexandria has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Alexandria dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.
The city is smaller than the market
43,133 people live in Alexandria itself, but about 148,000 live in the wider Alexandria, LA. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
The bill for a Alexandria programme
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Alexandria event sized to Harry Turpin Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Alexandria dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Alexandria does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
With a stated ceiling of 15,971 seats, Alexandria can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- multi-track conferences
A 15,971-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Alexandria is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 15,971 takes an audience no conference venue in Alexandria can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
- training days and workshops
2 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
