Every venue mapped in Kingston 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.
Where the largest programmes go
Nothing in Kingston is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 8,500 seats, at Richardson Memorial Stadium.
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.
How people reach Kingston
Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport (YGK) sits 9 km (5.6 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
The city runs on Toronto time (America/Toronto). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Belleville, Brockville and Kanata are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Kingston has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Kingston 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.
Check the city calendar first
Kingston carries recurring shows including Limestone City Blues Festival, Skeleton Park Arts Festival and HomeGrown Live Music Festival. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.
A worked example, sized to Kingston
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Kingston event sized to Richardson Memorial Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Kingston 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 CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Kingston does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
With a stated ceiling of 8,500 seats, Kingston can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- multi-track conferences
A 8,500-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 Kingston is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 8,500 takes an audience no conference venue in Kingston can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
- award ceremonies
4 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
