Where the largest programmes go
Nothing in Nepean is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 1,300 seats, at Twin Elm Rugby Park.
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 Nepean
Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) sits 5 km (3.1 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
The city runs on Toronto time (America/Toronto). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Ottawa South, Gloucester and Ottawa are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Nepean has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Nepean dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.
A worked example, sized to Nepean
A Nepean programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Twin Elm Rugby Park, the largest stated capacity in the Nepean 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 CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Nepean 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 1,300 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 1,300-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 Nepean is set up for.
