The halls that take a trade floor
2 venues in Santa Rosa are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Sonoma County Fairgroundssize not published
- Sonoma County Event Center at the Fairgroundssize 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 Santa Rosa
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is 96 km (60 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 Los Angeles time (America/Los_Angeles). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Windsor, Petaluma and Novato are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Santa Rosa has nothing free on your dates.

Things that catch organizers out here
Arrival is a half-day
96 km (60 mi) from SFO means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The bill for a Santa Rosa programme
A Santa Rosa programme at 400 activated attendees — sized to Luther Burbank Auditorium, the largest stated capacity in the Santa Rosa dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- activated attendees
- 400activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 350billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $1,750for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Santa Rosa does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
400 seats is the largest room on record, so Santa Rosa suits a training programme, a regional chapter meeting or a single-track conference rather than an exhibition.
- trade shows and exhibitions
2 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa is set up for.
- award ceremonies
3 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- training days and workshops
2 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
