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.

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

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.
