How attendees reach it
81 km (50 mi) to Bradley International Airport (BDL) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
The published number for the venue is +1 860 444 7373 x1.
New London has 13 venues mapped in total and a population of 28,081. The New London guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Garde Arts Center is 1st of 3 such houses mapped in New London.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
