Travel, time zone and arrival
Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) is 43 km (27 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 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.
Monroeville, Pittsburgh and Bethel Park are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Plum has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Plum 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 Plum 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
43 km (27 mi) from PIT means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The city is smaller than the market
26,420 people live in Plum itself, but about 2.4 million live in the wider Pittsburgh, PA. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
What event67 costs for a Plum event
A Plum programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Plum programme, since no Plum 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.
- activated attendees
- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- 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 Plum 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 Plum 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 Plum has them.
