Travel, time zone and arrival
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is 47 km (29 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.
Ajax, Markham and Whitby are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Pickering has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Pickering 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 Pickering 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
47 km (29 mi) from YYZ means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
Pricing this against a real Pickering room
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Pickering event a mid-sized Pickering programme, since no Pickering venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$1,330for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Pickering does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
No capacity is published for any Pickering venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
