Convention and exhibition space
One venue in Henderson is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Granville County Convention & Expo Centersize 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.
Arrival logistics
Raleigh–Durham International Airport (RDU) is 61 km (38 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
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.
Wake Forest, Durham and Raleigh are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Henderson has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No published capacities

Arrival is a half-day
61 km (38 mi) from RDU means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
