Getting there
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is 107 km (66 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
30 km (19 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.
Middletown has 18 venues mapped in total and a population of 30,188. The Middletown 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.
