Exhibition-scale rooms in Homestead

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 Homestead
Miami International Airport (MIA) is 41 km (25 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.
The Hammocks, Kendale Lakes and Kendall are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Homestead has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No published capacities
Not one Homestead 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.
Arrival is a half-day
41 km (25 mi) from MIA means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The city is smaller than the market
85,796 people live in Homestead itself, but about 6.5 million live in the wider Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
Pricing this against a real Homestead room
A Homestead programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Homestead programme, since no Homestead 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
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Homestead does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
No capacity is published for any Homestead 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 Homestead 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 Homestead is set up for.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
