Access and arrival
At 105 km (65 mi), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
The centre of New Haven is 2.8 km (1.7 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

The kind of event it takes
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Cosgrove Marcus Messer Athletic Center is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
