Flights, time and distance
Ángel Albino Corzo International Airport (TGZ) is 45 km (28 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 Merida time (America/Merida). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Tuxtla, Comitán and Villahermosa are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if San Cristóbal de las Casas has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the San Cristóbal de las Casas 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 San Cristóbal de las Casas 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
45 km (28 mi) from TGZ means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
A worked example, sized to San Cristóbal de las Casas
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a San Cristóbal de las Casas event a mid-sized San Cristóbal de las Casas programme, since no San Cristóbal de las Casas 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 San Cristóbal de las Casas 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 San Cristóbal de las Casas venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- community meetings
Nothing in San Cristóbal de las Casas 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.
