Getting there
Logan International Airport (BOS) is 10 km (6.2 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 6 km (3.7 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
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 62nd 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.
