The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Plantation is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 20,737 seats, at Office Depot Center.
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
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood (FLL) sits 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Plantation keeps New York time (America/New_York), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Lauderhill, Davie and Tamarac are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Plantation has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Plantation 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
100,694 people live in Plantation itself, but about 6.5 million live in the wider Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.

By event type
With a stated ceiling of 20,737 seats, Plantation can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- multi-track conferences
A 20,737-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 Plantation is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 20,737 takes an audience no conference venue in Plantation can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
- 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.
