Every venue mapped in Jamestown 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.
The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Jamestown is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 5,480 seats, at Reilly Center.
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
Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) is 102 km (63 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Jamestown keeps New York time (America/New_York), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Erie, Buffalo and Cheektowaga are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Jamestown has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Jamestown 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.
Arrival is a half-day
102 km (63 mi) from BUF 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
27,699 people live in Jamestown itself, but about 124,000 live in the wider Jamestown-Dunkirk, NY. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
What event67 costs for a Jamestown event
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Jamestown event sized to Reilly Center, the largest stated capacity in the Jamestown 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 Jamestown does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
With a stated ceiling of 5,480 seats, Jamestown can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- multi-track conferences
A 5,480-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Jamestown is set up for.
- award ceremonies
3 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- training days and workshops
3 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
