Getting there
14 km (8.7 mi) separates Silvio O. Conte Forum from Logan International Airport (BOS) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 9.2 km (5.7 mi) from the middle of Boston — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
Boston has 182 venues mapped in total and a population of 673,458. The Boston guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 8,606 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
