As the Gateway to New England, Connecticut lies squarely in the middle of the Boston and metropolitan New York corridor. Home to some of the best facilities in the northeast for conventions, meetings and events – including the brand new 540,000 square-foot Connecticut Convention Center in downtown Hartford – Connecticut offers a fascinating blend of shoreline and hills, historic and contemporary, rural and urban, and sophisticated and charming.

Whether you’re looking for an intimate retreat like an 18th century farmhouse, premier meeting and hotel space, dock and dine outing options, or unique settings such as a brick-floored vineyard, regal Great Gatsby-style mansion by the sea, soaring art gallery or sumptuous, shining spa, it’s all right here.

As is whatever you need to entertain spouses and families. For details, just click here to link to our Connecticut Vacation Guide and Connecticut Culture Guide.

And everything is easily accessible from New England’s second-largest airport, Bradley International, as well as via rail, courtesy of Amtrak. Additionally, three main interstates feed the state: I-84 (east to west), I-95 (shoreline) and I-91 (north to south); and numerous highways, routes and country roads offer the option of more scenic travel.

Whatever your organization’s interest or event/accommodation requirements, Connecticut provides the sites, entertaining day trips and customized convention services you need to make your meeting a resounding success.
