Getting attendees to Bedford
Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) is 21 km (13 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Bedford keeps Halifax time (America/Halifax), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Lower Sackville, Dartmouth and Halifax are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Bedford has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Bedford 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 Bedford 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.
What event67 costs for a Bedford event
Take 240 people through the door in Bedford — a mid-sized Bedford programme, since no Bedford 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.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$1,330for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Bedford does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
No capacity is published for any Bedford venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- training days and workshops
1 purpose-built function space is 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 Bedford has them.
