Convention and exhibition space
3 venues in Lakewood are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Trek Through Time Exhibit Hallsize not published
- Exhibit Hallsize not published
- Fairgrounds Officesize 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.
Getting attendees to Lakewood
Denver International Airport (DEN) is 39 km (24 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is Denver time (America/Denver) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Denver, Arvada and Westminster are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Lakewood has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
The city is smaller than the market

- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
