Venues in Augusta, by what they are for
Augusta has a recorded population of 201,737 (2024), inside the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC area of about 637,000 people.
Counted by what they are for, that is 1 exhibition or convention hall, 1 arena or stadium and 3 independent event spaces.
That works out at about 2 venues per hundred thousand residents, so the field is thin relative to the population and the larger rooms book out a long way ahead.
By type that is 3 event spaces, 1 arena and 1 exhibition centre.

Convention and exhibition space
One venue in Augusta is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Columbia County Exhibition 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.
Arrival logistics
Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) sits 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Augusta keeps New York time (America/New_York), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Population density is around 667 per square mile, so venues and hotels are spread out. Assume a shuttle or a parking plan rather than a walkable core.
North Augusta, Greenwood and Lexington are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Augusta has nothing free on your dates.
