Where an exhibition fits
2 venues in Jonesboro are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Red Wolf Convention Centersize not published
- NEA District Fair Groundssize 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.
Travel, time zone and arrival
Memphis International Airport (MEM) is 111 km (69 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Memphis, Bartlett and Brinkley are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Jonesboro has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
Arrival is a half-day
111 km (69 mi) from MEM means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
A worked example, sized to Jonesboro
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Jonesboro event sized to Centennial Bank Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
