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.
What fits in this room
At 10,595 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 10,595 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
