The halls that take a trade floor
2 venues in Williston are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.
- Dawson County Fairgroundssize not published
- Exhibit Hallsize 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
Sloulin Field International Airport (ISN) sits 4 km (2.5 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.
Minot is close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Williston has nothing free on your dates.

What to check before you commit
No published capacities
Not one Williston 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 bill for a Williston programme
Suppose 240 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Williston event a mid-sized Williston programme, since no Williston venue publishes a capacity in open data. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- 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 Williston does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
What sort of event fits here
No capacity is published for any Williston 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 Williston 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 Williston is set up for.
- 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.
- leadership retreats
Smaller rooms suit a retreat better than a hall does, and Williston has them.
