Every venue mapped in Huntsville appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.
Convention and exhibition space
One venue in Huntsville is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Huntsville Visitors And Convention 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
Huntsville International Airport (HSV) is 20 km (12 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Population density is around 1,023 per square mile, so venues and hotels are spread out. Assume a shuttle or a parking plan rather than a walkable core.
Madison, Decatur and Tullahoma are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Huntsville has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
Confirm the room before the date
Nothing in the Huntsville record flags an unusual constraint, which in practice means the ordinary one applies: hold the venue before you announce the date, because a date without a room is the only mistake that cannot be fixed later.

- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
