Getting there
9 km (5.6 mi) separates Broom Factory from Kingston/Norman Rogers Airport (YGK) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
A central address is worth more than it looks: no shuttle, no parking plan, and evening sessions that people actually stay for.
Kingston has 30 venues mapped in total and a population of 132,485. The Kingston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Broom Factory is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
