Every venue mapped in Mobile 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.
Convention and exhibition space
One venue in Mobile is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Arthur R. Outlaw Mobile 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.
Travel, time zone and arrival
Mobile Regional Airport (MOB) is 19 km (12 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Population density is around 1,335 per square mile, so venues and hotels are spread out. Assume a shuttle or a parking plan rather than a walkable core.
Daphne, Pensacola and Biloxi are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Mobile has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
Confirm the room before the date
Nothing in the Mobile 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.
What event67 costs for a Mobile event
Take 950 people through the door in Mobile — sized to Ladd–Peebles Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Mobile dataset. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.
- 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 Mobile does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
With a stated ceiling of 33,471 seats, Mobile can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions

- multi-track conferences

- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Mobile is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 33,471 takes an audience no conference venue in Mobile can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
