How attendees reach it

Allow half an hour each way to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), 14 km (8.7 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

9.3 km (5.8 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.

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

A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.

  • 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.
