Every venue mapped in Boone appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.

Top of the capacity range

Nothing in Boone is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 30,000 seats, at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

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.

Travel, time zone and arrival

Tri-Cities Regional Airport (TRI) is 72 km (45 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.

Boone keeps New York time (America/New_York), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.

Lenoir, Morganton and Hickory are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Boone has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints

No exhibition hall on record

Nothing in the Boone 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.

Arrival is a half-day

72 km (45 mi) from TRI means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.

The bill for a Boone programme

Take 950 people through the door in Boone — sized to Kidd Brewer Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Boone dataset. 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.

$4,500for the whole event, at $5 each

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Boone does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

What sort of event fits here

With a stated ceiling of 30,000 seats, Boone can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.

  • multi-track conferences

    A 30,000-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.

  • association annual meetings

    An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Boone is set up for.

  • festivals

    An arena or stadium floor at 30,000 takes an audience no conference venue in Boone can.

  • sports tournaments

    The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.

  • award ceremonies

    2 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
