Where an exhibition fits
2 venues in Wellington are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- South Florida Fairgrounds Expo Center (East)size not published
- South Florida Fairgrounds Expo Center (West)size 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.
Getting attendees to Wellington
President Donald J. Trump International Airport (PBI) is 15 km (9.3 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
The city runs on New York time (America/New_York). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.
West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens and Boynton Beach are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Wellington has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No published capacities
Not one Wellington 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.
The city is smaller than the market
63,258 people live in Wellington itself, but about 6.5 million live in the wider Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.
A worked example, sized to Wellington
A Wellington programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Wellington programme, since no Wellington venue publishes a capacity in open data — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- 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 Wellington does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
No capacity is published for any Wellington venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- trade shows and exhibitions
2 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in Wellington without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
The exhibition space here doubles as plenary space when the floor is cleared.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Wellington is set up for.
- award ceremonies
2 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
