What the record holds

It stands at 701 West Hamilton Street, 18101, right in the centre of Allentown.

PPL Center was opened in 2014, operated by Comcast Spectacor and owned by Allentown, which puts it at 12 years old.

At a stated 8,700 this takes an entire conference in one room rather than one track of it.

How attendees reach it

84 km (52 mi) to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.

The centre of Allentown is 1.6 km (1 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

Allentown has 28 venues mapped in total and a population of 127,138. The Allentown guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Allentown, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 8,700 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.

What event67 costs at this capacity

A PPL Center programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of PPL Center — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
