The building
It sits in Sacramento, 7.8 km (4.8 mi) from the centre of Sacramento.
ARCO Arena was opened in 1988, operated by Maloof family and owned by Vivek Ranadivé, which puts it at 38 years old.
A stated 16,517 puts this in arena territory: general sessions and keynotes fit, breakouts need somewhere else.

Access and arrival
Sacramento International Airport (SMF) is 8 km (5 mi) away — close enough that a delayed speaker can still make an afternoon slot.
At 7.8 km (4.8 mi) from the centre of Sacramento, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Sacramento has 25 venues mapped in total and a population of 535,798. The Sacramento guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 16,517 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
A ARCO Arena programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of ARCO Arena — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each

You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
