The two things that quietly decide a regional conference are parking and coffee. A downtown venue charges attendees to park and makes them walk; here they park at the door, free, however many of them there are.
Twenty minutes from Canton and thirty-five from Akron means a regional audience can come and go in a day without a hotel, which widens who will actually attend.
Format
Theatre seating, rounds for a workshop format, or a single long block for a board-level session. The hall is wide rather than deep, so sightlines hold at the back.
Audio-visual is the thing to establish before you commit — screen, projection, microphones, recording. Tell us the requirement and we will tell you exactly what is here and what you would hire, rather than discovering it on the morning.
