Running an event in Brooklyn
Everything an organizer needs before committing a date in Brooklyn, New York — 35 mapped venues, capacity where it is published, airport distance and local time.
Venues in Brooklyn, by what they are for

Counted by what they are for, that is 3 dedicated conference and function spaces, 2 arenas and stadiums, 4 theatres and concert halls and 26 independent event spaces.

Every venue mapped in Brooklyn 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.
Flights, time and distance
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 14 km (8.7 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is New York time (America/New_York) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
New York City, Queens and Hoboken are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Brooklyn has nothing free on your dates.

Shows that return every year
Comic Arts Brooklyn, Golden Hours National Convention and Punderdome come back to Brooklyn. A returning show is the best evidence a place has the rooms, the hotel stock and the airlift to carry one.

Recorded in Wikidata, which covers event series with an encyclopaedia entry. It is a floor rather than a full calendar for Brooklyn, and it is not a listing service — check dates with the organiser.
What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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.
Check the city calendar first
Brooklyn carries recurring shows including Comic Arts Brooklyn, Golden Hours National Convention and Punderdome. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.
What event67 costs for a Brooklyn event
A Brooklyn programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Brooklyn programme, since no Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- award ceremonies
4 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- 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 Brooklyn has them.
