The Historic Ashland Armory is a nice, iconic conference and show location. It is an amazing space with a big open floor and a big wooden dance floor, good for perusing with a good flow. The venue holds many events, from the annual Rock and Gem show to concerts with great names and styles of music. It seems to hold about 500 people. The space features a cityscape painted into the walls and has very friendly people. While finding true local parking can be an issue, there are lots around so it's not too far. It is a good space to hold an event and a special venue for Southern Oregon.
