Planning a conference in Burlington
Everything an organizer needs before committing a date in Burlington, Ontario — 3 mapped venues, capacity where it is published, airport distance and local time.
What Burlington has to put people in
Burlington has a recorded population of 186,948 (2021), in Ontario.
Counted by what they are for, that is 1 dedicated conference and function space and 2 arenas and stadiums.
That works out at about 2 venues per hundred thousand residents, so the field is thin relative to the population and the larger rooms book out a long way ahead.
By type that is 1 conference centre, 1 stadium and 1 arena.

Getting attendees to Burlington
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is 36 km (22 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Burlington keeps Toronto time (America/Toronto), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Oakville, Milton and Hamilton are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Burlington has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Burlington 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 Burlington 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.
What event67 costs for a Burlington event
Take 240 people through the door in Burlington — a mid-sized Burlington programme, since no Burlington venue publishes a capacity in open data. 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.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$1,330for the whole event, at CA$7 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.
By event type
No capacity is published for any Burlington venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- training days and workshops
1 purpose-built function space is 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 Burlington has them.

Beyond that it is CA$7 per activated attendee beyond the first 50, and the total for one event stops at CA$6,650 however many more attend.
