Where the largest programmes go
Nothing in Middletown is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 17,500 seats, at PNC Bank Arts Center.
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 Middletown
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) 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.
The city runs on New York time (America/New_York). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Perth Amboy, Staten Island and Asbury Park are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Middletown has nothing free on your dates.

Which kind of event this suits

- award ceremonies
5 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
