Every venue mapped in Okemos 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.

Travel, time zone and arrival

Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) is 105 km (65 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.

Okemos keeps Detroit time (America/Detroit), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.

Haslett, East Lansing and Lansing are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Okemos has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints

No exhibition hall on record

Nothing in the Okemos 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.

No published capacities

Not one Okemos venue publishes a capacity in the open sources behind this page. Every room on the list will quote you a number directly, but you cannot compare them before you call, so build a fortnight of venue calls into the plan.

Arrival is a half-day

105 km (65 mi) from DTW means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.

What event67 costs for a Okemos event

A Okemos programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Okemos programme, since no Okemos venue publishes a capacity in open data — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

for the whole event, at $5 each
$950for the whole event, at $5 each

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Okemos does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

By event type

No capacity is published for any Okemos venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.

  • training days and workshops

    1 purpose-built function space is the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.

  • leadership retreats

    Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Okemos has them.
