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 0.5 km (0.3 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
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. McCarter Theater Center is 2nd of 3 such houses mapped in Princeton.
- 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.
The app bill, at this size
Take 240 people through the door in McCarter Theater Center — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Princeton. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.
- activated attendees

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 190billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at $5 each
- $950for the whole event, at $5 each
You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
