Flights, time and distance

Royal Oak keeps Detroit time (America/Detroit), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Southfield, Warren and Troy are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Royal Oak has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak 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
58,251 people live in Royal Oak itself, but about 4.4 million live in the wider Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI. 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 Royal Oak
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Royal Oak event a mid-sized Royal Oak programme, since no Royal Oak 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 $5 each
- $950for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Royal Oak 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 Royal Oak venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- community meetings
Nothing in Royal Oak publishes a capacity, so start with the format that scales down: a single room, one track, no exhibition.
- networking mixers
A mixer works in almost any room, which makes it the safe first event in a new city.
