One venue in Richmond is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Richmond Memorial Convention Centersize not published
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.
Getting attendees to Richmond
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is 35 km (22 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Richmond keeps Los Angeles time (America/Los_Angeles), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Berkeley, Oakland and San Rafael are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Richmond has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No published capacities
Not one Richmond 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
115,353 people live in Richmond itself, but about 4.6 million live in the wider San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
A worked example, sized to Richmond
Take 240 people through the door in Richmond — a mid-sized Richmond programme, since no Richmond venue publishes a capacity in open data. 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.
- 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 Richmond does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
No capacity is published for any Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond is set up for.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
