Where an exhibition fits
One venue in Burlington is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Antique Car / Truck Buildingsize not published
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.
Getting attendees to Burlington
Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) is 87 km (54 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Galesburg, Muscatine and Davenport are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Burlington has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
Arrival is a half-day
87 km (54 mi) from MLI means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
A worked example, sized to Burlington
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Burlington event sized to Hanson Field, the largest stated capacity in the Burlington dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Burlington does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
With a stated ceiling of 17,168 seats, Burlington can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Burlington without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 17,168-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 Burlington is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 17,168 takes an audience no conference venue in Burlington can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
