Access and arrival
61 km (38 mi) to University of Illinois Willard Airport (CMI) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
Being 0.2 km (0.1 mi) from the middle of Charleston means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Charleston has 4 venues mapped in total and a population of 17,361. The Charleston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Will Rogers Theatre is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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 Will Rogers Theatre programme at 240 activated attendees — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Charleston — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

- 240activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for 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.
