The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Fairfield is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 3,500 seats, at Leo D. Mahoney Arena.
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
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 71 km (44 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Fairfield keeps New York time (America/New_York), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Bridgeport, Stratford and East Norwalk are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Fairfield has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Fairfield 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
71 km (44 mi) from JFK means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
What event67 costs for a Fairfield event

- 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 Fairfield does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
The top of the range here is 3,500 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 3,500-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 Fairfield is set up for.
- award ceremonies
2 fixed-seat houses give 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.
