Where an exhibition fits
One venue in Lewiston is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- The Colisée3,677 seats
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
Portland International Jetport (PWM) is 51 km (32 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Local time is New York time (America/New_York) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Auburn, Brunswick and Augusta are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Lewiston has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
Arrival is a half-day
51 km (32 mi) from PWM 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 Lewiston
A Lewiston programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to The Colisée, the largest stated capacity in the Lewiston dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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 Lewiston does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
The top of the range here is 3,677 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- trade shows and exhibitions

- multi-track conferences

- association annual meetings

- award ceremonies
3 fixed-seat houses give 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.
