This new product, the Corporate Events Guide, also brings the Business Times’ first List of Banquet Facilities. This List is ranked by banquet-style seating capacity — how many people can be seated at tables for a banquet-style event. The List also asks for other details, such as capacity for a theater-style event, where all the attendees are sitting in rows of chairs looking to the action onstage, or perhaps waiting for their names to be called up to receive a plaque. The largest such venue, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, can seat 12,930 people banquet-style when its Halls A, B and C are open and combined into one giant room. For a theater-style event, say a political convention, those three contiguous halls can seat 20,574. Beyond No. 1, more than 25 venues reported being able to seat at least 300 attendees for an event. More than 50 can seat at least 100. If your venue was not included in this new List, please contact Ethan Lott at [email protected] so you can be added to the List online, for the year-end Book of Lists and for future editions of the list. 5 2019 CORPORATE EVENTS GUIDE GUIDE TO PITTSBURGH’S VENUES, CATERERS & EVENT SPECIALISTS
