Before you hold a date
No published capacities
Not one Puyallup 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.
The city is smaller than the market
42,552 people live in Puyallup itself, but about 4.1 million live in the wider Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
Pricing this against a real Puyallup room
A Puyallup programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Puyallup programme, since no Puyallup 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 Puyallup 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 Puyallup venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Puyallup without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
The exhibition space here doubles as plenary space when the floor is cleared.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Puyallup is set up for.
- 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 Puyallup has them.
