Travel, time zone and arrival
Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) sits 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Longview, Palestine and Marshall are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Tyler has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the Tyler 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.
No published capacities
Not one Tyler 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.
Pricing this against a real Tyler room
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Tyler event a mid-sized Tyler programme, since no Tyler venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- 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 Tyler 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 Tyler venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- training days and workshops
5 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 Tyler has them.
