Where the largest programmes go
Nothing in Saguenay is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 2,100 seats, at Théâtre du Palais municipal.
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 Saguenay
Bagotville Airport (YBG) sits 11 km (6.8 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is Toronto time (America/Toronto) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Québec, Lévis and Shawinigan are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Saguenay has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Saguenay 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.
A worked example, sized to Saguenay
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Saguenay event sized to Théâtre du Palais municipal, the largest stated capacity in the Saguenay dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Saguenay does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
The top of the range here is 2,100 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 2,100-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 Saguenay is set up for.
- award ceremonies
3 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
