How people reach Blaine
Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is 31 km (19 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Coon Rapids, West Coon Rapids and Brooklyn Park are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Blaine has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Blaine 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 Blaine 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
75,172 people live in Blaine itself, but about 3.8 million live in the wider Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
A worked example, sized to Blaine
A Blaine programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Blaine programme, since no Blaine venue publishes a capacity in open data — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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 Blaine does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
No capacity is published for any Blaine venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- community meetings
Nothing in Blaine 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.
