Travel to The Lilypad

8 km (5 mi) to Logan International Airport (BOS). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.

At 3.7 km (2.3 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

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.

What fits in this room

Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 59th of 182 venues mapped in Boston.

  • networking mixers

    An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.

  • fundraisers and galas

    A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.

A worked example for The Lilypad

Take 120 people through the door in The Lilypad — sized to the stated capacity of The Lilypad. 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.

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.
