How attendees reach it

At 69 km (43 mi), Logan International Airport (BOS) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.

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

Providence has 30 venues mapped in total and a population of 194,706. The Providence guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

At 1,980 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.

  • 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.

  • community meetings

    Room for 1,980 covers most community and member meetings.
