How people reach Jackson
McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport (MKL) sits 9 km (5.6 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Jackson keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Dyersburg, Collierville and Cordova are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Jackson has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Jackson dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.
No published capacities
Not one Jackson 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.
What event67 costs for a Jackson event

- 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 Jackson does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
No capacity is published for any Jackson venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
