Getting there
69 km (43 mi) to Logan International Airport (BOS) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 1.8 km (1.1 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
The published number for the venue is +1 401 273 1155.
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.
Formats this suits
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.
