Access and arrival
Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK) is 92 km (57 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
At 84 km (52 mi) from the centre of Topeka, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Topeka has 21 venues mapped in total and a population of 125,467. The Topeka guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
5,000 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
A White Auditorium programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of White Auditorium — 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
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 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.
