Venue Needed in Boston Area
I’m just reaching out in all venues, in case something clicks. I’m looking for a venue in the Boston Area for our Podcamp event. Details are at Podcamp.org, but basically, we need to house 200 people, with 4 or 5 conference rooms, internet access is a big plus, etc. Any one have any contacts in this area or any leads as to where I can find a venue like this for free or cheap? Please email me or comment.

Chris- My advice is to look at some of the larger technology companies in the greater Boston area and see if their office space might work for you. They could come on as a major sponsor of the event in exchange for the free space and internet use. I am thinking of the offices in the Waltham area along 128. I would also consider the hotels in that area. Perhaps, if you can demonstrate a significant # of hotel bookings, they would be willing to give you conference space for reduced rates. Good Luck.
Unfortunately, trying to book an event in Boston is painfully difficult. The one place that will accommodate this type of event (Hynes Convention Center) is booked well in advance. I actually had a friend who was an event planner in Boston and she completely quit the business due to lack of places to hold events like this.
