How people reach Apex
Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) is 17 km (11 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is New York time (America/New_York) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Cary, Raleigh and Chapel Hill are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Apex has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Apex 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.
No published capacities
Not one Apex venue publishes a capacity in the open sources behind this page. Every room on the list will quote you a number directly, but you cannot compare them before you call, so build a fortnight of venue calls into the plan.
The city is smaller than the market
75,977 people live in Apex itself, but about 1.6 million live in the wider Raleigh-Cary, NC. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
Pricing this against a real Apex room
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Apex event a mid-sized Apex programme, since no Apex venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Apex does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
No capacity is published for any Apex venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- community meetings
Nothing in Apex publishes a capacity, so start with the format that scales down: a single room, one track, no exhibition.
- networking mixers
A mixer works in almost any room, which makes it the safe first event in a new city.
