Virginia: cities, venues and capacity
The Virginia picture for an organizer — 349 venues across 34 cities, ranked by what the record can prove rather than by marketing copy.
Lane Stadium states the largest capacity in the state. The dots show what event67 would bill at that head count, and where the price stops.
What the record holds
Virginia is a state of United States of about 8.6 million people. Richmond is the capital, though Virginia Beach is the largest city.
The mapped inventory comes to 12 exhibition or convention halls, 49 dedicated conference and function spaces, 77 arenas and stadiums, 52 theatres and concert halls and 159 independent event spaces.
The largest stated capacity anywhere in the state is 65,632, which is the practical ceiling for a single-room programme here.

Top of the capacity range
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.

One more town has a venue worth its own guide
The town itself is too thinly mapped for a city guide, but the venue publishes enough to stand on its own.
- Warsaw: AMC Lexington Park 6 (969)
Also in Virginia, with nothing mapped yet to build a guide from: Portsmouth. They appear here rather than as pages with three facts on them.

Questions people actually ask
Which Virginia city is best for a conference?
It depends on how many people you need to seat and how they arrive. Virginia Beach has the deepest venue list in this state, while Richmond, the capital, carries the government and association calendar. The table above ranks every covered city by how many venues are mapped in it, which is the closest proxy to choice you will get before you start calling.
How many event venues are there in Virginia?
349 venues across 34 cities are mapped in this dataset, of which 12 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.

950 activated attendees means 900 billable after the free 50, so $4,500 for the event. The rate is $5 per activated attendee beyond the first 50, and the total for one event stops at $4,750 however many more attend. Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
