What the record holds

It stands at 25 Lafayette Street, right in the centre of Newark.

Prudential Center was opened in 2007, operated by Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and owned by David Blitzer, which puts it at 19 years old.

17,625 seats is arena scale, so it works as a plenary room with breakouts hosted nearby.

How attendees reach it

5 km (3.1 mi) to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.

It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.

Newark has 27 venues mapped in total and a population of 317,303. The Newark guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 1st largest arena or stadium mapped in Newark, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 17,625 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
