Columbus has 70 venues mapped in total and a population of 933,263. The Columbus guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

The kind of event it takes

An exhibition building is bought by the square foot, not the seat. What decides whether your show fits is column spacing, ceiling height and how many trucks can be on the dock at once, so ask Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds for the hall sheet rather than a capacity number.
