The building
It stands at 320 E. 6th Street, right in the centre of Austin.
Ritz was opened in 1929 and operated by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, which puts it at 97 years old.
A stated 175 makes this a breakout or workshop room rather than a plenary space.

Access and arrival
11 km (6.8 mi) separates Ritz from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
Being 0.3 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Austin means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Austin has 83 venues mapped in total and a population of 993,588. The Austin guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- 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 Ritz programme at 180 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of Ritz — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

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.
