The halls that take a trade floor
4 venues in Jacksonville are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Prime F. Osborn III Convention Centersize not published
- South Point Convention Centersize not published
- Clay County Fairgroundssize not published
- Greater Jacksonville 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
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is 18 km (11 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
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.
Population density is around 1,351 per square mile, so venues and hotels are spread out. Assume a shuttle or a parking plan rather than a walkable core.
Jacksonville Beach, Brunswick and Palm Coast are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Jacksonville has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
Choice is not the constraint here
With 42 venues mapped, availability rarely fails. What fails is comparison: shortlist on capacity and distance from the airport first, and only then start touring.
The bill for a Jacksonville programme
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Jacksonville event sized to EverBank Field, the largest stated capacity in the Jacksonville dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Jacksonville does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
With a stated ceiling of 67,246 seats, Jacksonville can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
4 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Jacksonville without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 67,246-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings

- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 67,246 takes an audience no conference venue in Jacksonville can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
