Getting there
Logan International Airport (BOS) is 68 km (42 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
Being 1.1 km (0.7 mi) from the middle of Providence means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Providence has 30 venues mapped in total and a population of 194,706. The Providence guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
