Travel, time zone and arrival
Tampa International Airport (TPA) is 26 km (16 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.
Largo, Palm Harbor and Pinellas Park are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Clearwater has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Clearwater 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 Clearwater 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.
The city is smaller than the market
116,811 people live in Clearwater itself, but about 3.4 million live in the wider Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
Pricing this against a real Clearwater room
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Clearwater event a mid-sized Clearwater programme, since no Clearwater venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- 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 Clearwater does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
No capacity is published for any Clearwater venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
