Getting attendees to Forest Park
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) is 30 km (19 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.

The local constraints
No published capacities
Not one Forest Park 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
20,033 people live in Forest Park itself, but about 2.3 million live in the wider Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
What event67 costs for a Forest Park event
A Forest Park programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Forest Park programme, since no Forest Park venue publishes a capacity in open data — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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

By event type
No capacity is published for any Forest Park venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Forest Park without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
The exhibition space here doubles as plenary space when the floor is cleared.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Forest Park is set up for.
- 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 Forest Park has them.
