Planning

    Turn Time

    The time needed to reset a room or space between different events or sessions.


    Turn time is the window a venue builds into its schedule to clear, clean, and reset a space between one event and the next. For example, a conference room may need one hour to transition from a morning workshop to an afternoon gala dinner setup. Insufficient turn time leads to rushed setups and potential delays. Event planners must negotiate realistic turn times with venues when bookings include multiple room configurations.
