The halls that take a trade floor
One venue in Wichita is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Century II Performing Arts & Convention Centersize 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.
Travel, time zone and arrival
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) sits 10 km (6.2 mi) from the centre, close enough that a same-day arrival is realistic for most of your speakers.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Hutchinson, Enid and Chanute are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Wichita has nothing free on your dates.

Before you hold a date
Choice is not the constraint here
With 41 venues mapped, availability rarely fails. What fails is comparison: shortlist on capacity and distance from the airport first, and only then start touring.
The bill for a Wichita programme
A Wichita programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Cessna Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Wichita dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

- 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 Wichita does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
With a stated ceiling of 31,500 seats, Wichita can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Wichita without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 31,500-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Wichita is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 31,500 takes an audience no conference venue in Wichita can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
