Hartford Area Information

The Greater Hartford region—which offers historic New England charm combined with a fast-paced, high-tech and progressive business environment—is the perfect place for your next show or meeting. And we’ve got quite a track record to prove it: People have been holding successful meetings and events in Hartford for over 350 years!

Few cities in the country can compete with Hartford’s AAA-status as a destination: our Affordability, our Accessibility and our Attractions.

Affordability: Greater Hartford is significantly less expensive to visit than most major cities in the Northeast, and it is the ideal, lower-cost alternative to Boston for those seeking the true New England experience.

Accessibility: The city is ideally situated between New York and Boston, at the junction of two major interstates (I-84 and I-91). Bradley International Airport (just a 15-minute ride from the Connecticut Expo Center) serves more than 80 North American cities. Amtrak, with a station right downtown, provides quick and convenient train service to cities across the Northeast.

Attractions: The Hartford area provides world-class options when it comes to accommodations, dining and exciting things to do. The Connecticut Expo Center is close to some of New England's top attractions. Right in Hartford, mere minutes from the Connecticut Expo Center, are the Mark Twain House & Museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, the Hartford Civic Center, the Bushnell Theater and a downtown with an active nightlife. A short drive away are some of the region’s most memorable historical and entertainment experiences: Mystic Seaport and Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. The region also offers top-notch shopping, and outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy plenty of options in all seasons—from world-class golf courses to nearby ski slopes.
