Access and arrival
57 km (35 mi) to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
Being 0.3 km (0.2 mi) from the middle of Princeton means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Princeton has 13 venues mapped in total and a population of 31,445. The Princeton guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
1,500 is enough for a whole programme in a single room, which removes the hardest logistics problem an event has. Ask what the room looks like empty — the seated figure and the usable one are rarely the same.
- 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.
