Every venue mapped in New London appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.

Top of the capacity range

Nothing in New London is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so the largest rooms here are arenas, theatres and function spaces. The ceiling is 4,500 seats, at Cadet Memorial Field.

Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.

Arrival logistics

Bradley International Airport (BDL) is 81 km (50 mi) away, far enough that arrival day is genuinely a travel day and a first session before noon will lose people.

The city runs on New York time (America/New_York). Schedules published in one zone and read in another are the most common cause of a half-empty first session.

Ledyard, Norwich and Mansfield City are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if New London has nothing free on your dates.

Worth knowing before you sign

No exhibition hall on record

Nothing in the New London dataset is classified as a convention or exhibition centre, so a trade floor needs either an arena floor, a fairground, or a nearby city. Check the arena listings above before you promise exhibitors a booth plan.

Arrival is a half-day

81 km (50 mi) from BDL means most attendees lose a morning to travel. Open registration the evening before and put nothing you care about in the first slot.

The city is smaller than the market

28,081 people live in New London itself, but about 283,000 live in the wider Norwich-New London-Willimantic, CT. Your local audience is far bigger than the city line suggests, and so is the commute your day-rate attendees will make.

The bill for a New London programme

A New London programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Cadet Memorial Field, the largest stated capacity in the New London dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in New London does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

What sort of event fits here

The top of the range here is 4,500 seats, which comfortably covers an association annual meeting, a regional summit or a mid-sized user conference.

  • multi-track conferences

    A 4,500-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.

  • association annual meetings

    An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination New London is set up for.

  • award ceremonies

    3 fixed-seat houses give you a stage, lighting and sightlines without building any of it.

  • training days and workshops

    2 purpose-built function spaces are the easiest kind of room to run a workshop in — the power and the load-in already assume it.
