Top of the capacity range

Nothing in Kettering is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 4,300 seats, at Fraze Pavilion.

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.

Getting attendees to Kettering

Dayton International Airport (DAY) is 24 km (15 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.

Kettering keeps New York time (America/New_York), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.

Dayton, Fairborn and Xenia are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Kettering has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign

No exhibition hall on record

Nothing in the Kettering 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.

The city is smaller than the market

57,028 people live in Kettering itself, but about 822,000 live in the wider Dayton-Kettering-Beavercreek, OH. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.

The bill for a Kettering programme

Take 950 people through the door in Kettering — sized to Fraze Pavilion, the largest stated capacity in the Kettering dataset. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Kettering does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

What sort of event fits here

The top of the range here is 4,300 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.

  • multi-track conferences

    A 4,300-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 Kettering is set up for.

  • award ceremonies

    1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.

  • training days and workshops

    1 purpose-built function space is the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
