Every venue mapped in Troy 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.
The largest rooms on record
Nothing in Troy is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 4,780 seats, at Houston Field House.
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.
Flights, time and distance
Albany International Airport (ALB) sits 9 km (5.6 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is New York time (America/New_York) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
West Albany, Albany and Schenectady are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Troy has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Troy 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.
The city is smaller than the market
51,065 people live in Troy itself, but about 913,000 live in the wider Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
What event67 costs for a Troy event
Take 950 people through the door in Troy — sized to Houston Field House, the largest stated capacity in the Troy dataset. 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.

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Troy 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 4,780 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 4,780-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 Troy is set up for.
- award ceremonies
5 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.
