Biggest rooms on record
Ranked by stated capacity, then by how much the record can prove. Open data rarely publishes a capacity for a convention centre, so a hall may sit below an arena here without being the smaller room.

Questions people actually ask
Which Connecticut city is best for a conference?

How many event venues are there in Connecticut?
163 venues across 26 cities are mapped in this dataset, of which 7 are convention, exhibition or conference facilities. That is what open data records, not a complete registry — small function rooms inside hotels and community buildings are consistently under-mapped everywhere.
