The halls that take a trade floor
One venue in Gresham is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Barn Exhibit Hallsize not published
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.
Flights, time and distance
Portland International Airport (PDX) is 16 km (9.9 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on Los Angeles time (America/Los_Angeles). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Camas, Portland and Oregon City are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Gresham has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No published capacities
Not one Gresham 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
111,507 people live in Gresham itself, but about 2.5 million live in the wider Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
The bill for a Gresham programme
Take 240 people through the door in Gresham — a mid-sized Gresham programme, since no Gresham venue publishes a capacity in open data. 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.
- 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 Gresham does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
No capacity is published for any Gresham 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 Gresham 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 Gresham 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.
