Access and arrival
At 68 km (42 mi), Logan International Airport (BOS) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.
Being 0.8 km (0.5 mi) from the middle of Providence means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
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.
The kind of event it takes
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 1,931 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- 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.
