Every venue mapped in Anaheim appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.
Where an exhibition fits
2 venues in Anaheim are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Anaheim Convention Centersize not published
- Disney's Grand Calfornia Convention Centersize not published
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 Anaheim
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is 47 km (29 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
The city runs on Los Angeles time (America/Los_Angeles). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Fullerton, Placentia and Garden Grove are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Anaheim has nothing free on your dates.

Who else books Anaheim
Anaheim already carries WonderCon, BlizzCon, Ninth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence or D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on a recurring basis, which tells you the city can absorb an event of that shape.

Worth knowing before you sign
Arrival is a half-day
47 km (29 mi) from LAX means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The city is smaller than the market
344,561 people live in Anaheim itself, but about 13 million live in the wider Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
Check the city calendar first
Anaheim carries recurring shows including WonderCon, BlizzCon and Ninth National Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.
A worked example, sized to Anaheim
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Anaheim event sized to Angel Stadium of Anaheim, the largest stated capacity in the Anaheim 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 Anaheim does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
With a stated ceiling of 43,250 seats, Anaheim can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
2 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Anaheim without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 43,250-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 Anaheim is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 43,250 takes an audience no conference venue in Anaheim can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
