Surrey venue landscape
Surrey has a recorded population of 568,322 (2021), in British Columbia.
Counted by what they are for, that is 3 exhibition or convention halls, 1 dedicated conference and function space, 2 arenas and stadiums, 4 theatres and concert halls and 7 independent event spaces.
That works out at about 3 venues per hundred thousand residents, so the field is thin relative to the population and the larger rooms book out a long way ahead.
By type that is 7 event spaces, 3 performing-arts centres, 2 convention centres and 1 stadium, plus a longer tail below.

Every venue mapped in Surrey appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.
Convention and exhibition space
3 venues in Surrey are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Bollywood Banquet Halls & Convention Centresize not published
- Taj Park Convention Centresize not published
- Cloverdale 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.
How people reach Surrey
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 28 km (17 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Surrey keeps Vancouver time (America/Vancouver), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Langley, New Westminster and Delta are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Surrey has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
Confirm the room before the date
Nothing in the Surrey record flags an unusual constraint, which in practice means the ordinary one applies: hold the venue before you announce the date, because a date without a room is the only mistake that cannot be fixed later.
What event67 costs for a Surrey event
A Surrey programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Stetson Bowl, the largest stated capacity in the Surrey dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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 Surrey does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
The top of the range here is 4,000 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- trade shows and exhibitions
3 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Surrey without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 4,000-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 Surrey is set up for.
- award ceremonies
4 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- training days and workshops
1 purpose-built function space is the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
