Top of the capacity range
Nothing in Burnaby is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 1,823 seats, at SFU Stadium at Terry Fox Field.
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
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 19 km (12 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on Vancouver time (America/Vancouver). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
New Westminster, North Vancouver and Vancouver are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Burnaby has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Burnaby 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.

2 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
