Getting there
19 km (12 mi) separates Central Theatre from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Passaic has 5 venues mapped in total and a population of 70,722. The Passaic guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
At 2,400 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- 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.
- community meetings
Room for 2,400 covers most community and member meetings.
