Getting attendees to Bartlett
Memphis International Airport (MEM) is 20 km (12 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Bartlett keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Cordova, Memphis and Collierville are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Bartlett has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Bartlett 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 Bartlett 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
56,708 people live in Bartlett itself, but about 1.3 million live in the wider Memphis, TN-MS-AR. 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 Bartlett room
Take 240 people through the door in Bartlett — a mid-sized Bartlett programme, since no Bartlett venue publishes a capacity in open data. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.
- 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 Bartlett 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 Bartlett venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- training days and workshops
3 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
- leadership retreats
Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Bartlett has them.
