The place for exhibitions and tradeshows is the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence; four halls offer a combined 100,000 square feet of space in which up to 500 booths can be erected. The space can be modified to accommodate small meetings or massive tradeshows as required, and the facility is equipped to handle all related audio-visual needs. In-house catering is available, and a loading dock and parking garage complete the arrangements for large-scale events.
The historic Aldrich Mansion overlooking Narragansett Bay in Warwick offers an elegant alternative meeting site, with a 230-seat capacity and a European cuisine dining. In nearby Cranston, groups from 50 to 2,500 people can participate in meetings, tradeshows, seminars, or social functions at Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxtet, a ballroom and gazebo that were once part of a resort-class complex of facilities. The ballroom offers 22,000 square feet of flexible space and fine in-house cuisine is available for events.
