Access and arrival
Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) is 28 km (17 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
Being 1.1 km (0.7 mi) from the middle of Halifax means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Halifax has 26 venues mapped in total and a population of 439,819. The Halifax guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 17th of 26 venues mapped in Halifax.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
The app bill, at this size
A Dalhousie Arts Centre programme at 240 activated attendees — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Halifax — 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
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$1,330for the whole event, at CA$7 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.
