How attendees reach it
75 km (47 mi) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 13 km (8.1 mi) from the centre of Danbury, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
Danbury has 7 venues mapped in total and a population of 88,692. The Danbury guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 500 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- 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.
