The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Passaic is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 2,400 seats, at Central Theatre.
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 Passaic
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is 19 km (12 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
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.
At about 22,573 residents per square mile the city is compact enough that a venue and its hotel block are usually walkable, which removes a shuttle line from your budget.
Clifton, Paterson and North Bergen are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Passaic has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Passaic 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.
The city is smaller than the market
70,722 people live in Passaic itself, but about 20 million live in the wider New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
