Travel to Winnipeg Convention Centre
Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG) is 7 km (4.3 mi) away — close enough that a delayed speaker can still make an afternoon slot.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Winnipeg has 43 venues mapped in total and a population of 749,607. The Winnipeg guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
This is one of 6 exhibition and convention venues mapped in Winnipeg, and the class matters more than the size: a hall is a floor you subdivide, which is a different purchase from a room you fill with chairs.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.

A Winnipeg Convention Centre programme at 240 activated attendees — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Winnipeg — 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
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$1,330for the whole event, at CA$7 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.
