Exhibition-scale rooms in Sevierville

- Sevierville Convention Centersize not published
- Convention Center Parking Decksize not published
- Smoky Mountain 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 Sevierville
McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) is 39 km (24 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 New York time (America/New_York). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
Knoxville, Morristown and Oak Ridge are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Sevierville has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No published capacities
Not one Sevierville 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
18,231 people live in Sevierville itself, but about 100,000 live in the wider Sevierville, TN. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
Pricing this against a real Sevierville room
A Sevierville programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Sevierville programme, since no Sevierville venue publishes a capacity in open data — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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 Sevierville does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Matching the room to the format
No capacity is published for any Sevierville venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- trade shows and exhibitions
5 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Sevierville 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 Sevierville 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
6 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
