Every venue mapped in Peterborough 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.
The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Peterborough is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 3,729 seats, at Peterborough Memorial Centre.
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
Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) is 114 km (71 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 Toronto time (America/Toronto). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Lindsay, Bowmanville and Oshawa are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Peterborough has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Peterborough 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.
Arrival is a half-day
114 km (71 mi) from YTZ 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 Peterborough event
Take 950 people through the door in Peterborough — sized to Peterborough Memorial Centre, the largest stated capacity in the Peterborough 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.

- 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 Peterborough does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
The top of the range here is 3,729 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 3,729-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 Peterborough is set up for.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- 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.
