Where an exhibition fits
One venue in Burlington is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Champlain Valley Expositionsize 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.
Flights, time and distance
Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport (BTV) sits 5 km (3.1 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
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.
Colchester, Plattsburgh and Jay are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Burlington has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
The city is smaller than the market
44,432 people live in Burlington itself, but about 229,000 live in the wider Burlington-South Burlington, VT. 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 Burlington
A Burlington programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Virtue Field, the largest stated capacity in the Burlington dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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
The top of the range here is 2,600 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- 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 2,600-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.
- award ceremonies
2 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
