What to check before you commit
No published capacities
Not one Southfield 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
76,874 people live in Southfield 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.
The bill for a Southfield programme
Take 240 people through the door in Southfield — a mid-sized Southfield programme, since no Southfield venue publishes a capacity in open data. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.
- 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 Southfield does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
No capacity is published for any Southfield venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Southfield 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 Southfield is set up for.
- training days and workshops
3 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
- leadership retreats
Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Southfield has them.
