Where the largest programmes go
Nothing in White Plains is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 1,800 seats, at The Capitol Theatre.
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.
Travel, time zone and arrival
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 44 km (27 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.
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.
Greenburgh, New Rochelle and Mount Vernon are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if White Plains has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
No exhibition hall on record
Nothing in the White Plains 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.
Arrival is a half-day
44 km (27 mi) from JFK means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.
The city is smaller than the market
62,561 people live in White Plains itself, but about 20 million live in the wider New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ. 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 White Plains
A White Plains programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to The Capitol Theatre, the largest stated capacity in the White Plains dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $4,500for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in White Plains does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
The top of the range here is 1,800 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.
- multi-track conferences
A 1,800-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings

- award ceremonies
1 fixed-seat house gives you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
