Every venue mapped in Memphis 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.
The halls that take a trade floor
2 venues in Memphis are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Renasant Convention Centersize not published
- Creative Arts 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.
Getting attendees to Memphis
Memphis International Airport (MEM) is 14 km (8.7 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Memphis keeps Chicago time (America/Chicago), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Bartlett, Southaven and Horn Lake are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Memphis has nothing free on your dates.

The recurring calendar

The local constraints
Confirm the room before the date
Nothing in the Memphis record flags an unusual constraint, which in practice means the ordinary one applies: hold the venue before you announce the date, because a date without a room is the only mistake that cannot be fixed later.
The bill for a Memphis programme
A Memphis programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Memphis 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 Memphis does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
With a stated ceiling of 50,160 seats, Memphis can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
2 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Memphis without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 50,160-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 Memphis is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 50,160 takes an audience no conference venue in Memphis can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
