Whitehorse venue landscape
Whitehorse has a recorded population of 28,201 (2021), in Yukon.
It is the capital of Yukon, so the calendar carries government, association and university business that books early and moves slowly.
Counted by what they are for, that is 1 exhibition or convention hall, 1 dedicated conference and function space, 1 arena or stadium, 2 theatres and concert halls and 3 independent event spaces.
That is roughly 28 venues per hundred thousand residents, which is a dense field for a city this size — you will usually have a second choice at the same capacity.
By type that is 3 event spaces, 1 theatre, 1 performing-arts centre and 1 arena, plus a longer tail below.

- Yukon Convention Centresize 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.
How people reach Whitehorse
Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport (YXY) sits 1 km (0.6 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
The city runs on Whitehorse time (America/Whitehorse). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.

Worth knowing before you sign
Confirm the room before the date
Nothing in the Whitehorse record flags an unusual constraint, which in practice means the ordinary one applies: hold the venue before you announce the date, because a date without a room is the only mistake that cannot be fixed later.
What event67 costs for a Whitehorse event
Take 430 people through the door in Whitehorse — sized to YAC Mainstage, the largest stated capacity in the Whitehorse dataset. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 380billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$2,660for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Whitehorse does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
428 seats is the largest room on record, so Whitehorse suits a training programme, a regional chapter meeting or a single-track conference rather than an exhibition.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Whitehorse 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 Whitehorse is set up for.
- award ceremonies
2 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.
- training days and workshops
1 purpose-built function space is the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
