The biggest spaces Drummondville can offer
Nothing in Drummondville is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 4,000 seats, at Centre Marcel Dionne.
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.
Arrival logistics
Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is 108 km (67 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Toronto time (America/Toronto) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Saint-Hyacinthe, Trois-Rivières and Granby are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Drummondville has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Drummondville 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.
Arrival is a half-day
108 km (67 mi) from YUL means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
Pricing this against a real Drummondville room
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Drummondville event sized to Centre Marcel Dionne, the largest stated capacity in the Drummondville 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 CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Drummondville does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
The top of the range here is 4,000 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 4,000-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 Drummondville is set up for.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- 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.
