Where an exhibition fits
One venue in Wildwood is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Washington Expo 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.
Arrival logistics
St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) is 32 km (20 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is Chicago time (America/Chicago) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Saint Peters, O'Fallon and Saint Charles are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Wildwood has nothing free on your dates.

The local constraints
No published capacities
Not one Wildwood 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
35,082 people live in Wildwood itself, but about 2.8 million live in the wider St. Louis, MO-IL. 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 Wildwood
A Wildwood programme at 240 activated attendees — a mid-sized Wildwood programme, since no Wildwood 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 Wildwood 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 Wildwood venue, so match the format to the room on your site visit rather than to a number on a listing.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Wildwood 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 Wildwood is set up for.
- training days and workshops
3 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
- leadership retreats
Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Wildwood has them.
