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.
Getting attendees to Hilliard
John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is 23 km (14 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on New York time (America/New_York). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Dublin, Columbus and Grove City are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Hilliard has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No published capacities
Not one Hilliard 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
38,832 people live in Hilliard itself, but about 2.2 million live in the wider Columbus, OH. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.

A Hilliard programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Hilliard programme, since no Hilliard 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.

- 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 Hilliard is set up for.
