- George H. Henderson Jr. Expo Centersize not published
- Pitser Garrison Convention Centersize 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.
How people reach Lufkin
East Texas Regional Airport (GGG) is 116 km (72 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
Lufkin keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Nacogdoches, Palestine and Tyler are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Lufkin has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
