Where the largest programmes go
Nothing in Greater Sudbury is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 4,640 seats, at Sudbury Community 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.
How people reach Greater Sudbury
Sudbury Airport (YSB) is 21 km (13 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on Toronto time (America/Toronto). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Little Current, North Bay and Huntsville are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Greater Sudbury has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record

A worked example, sized to Greater Sudbury
Take 950 people through the door in Greater Sudbury — sized to Sudbury Community Arena, the largest stated capacity in the Greater Sudbury dataset. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

- 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 Greater Sudbury does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
The top of the range here is 4,640 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 4,640-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 Greater Sudbury is set up for.
- award ceremonies
3 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- training days and workshops
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.
