Meetings & Events

For more than a quarter century, the Collaborative has organized meetings and events that include week-long youth summits attended by over 30,000 teachers and students, national town halls dedicated to the future of high speed rail, and smaller seminars, roundtable meetings, community workshops and focus groups. Professional gatherings are critically important ways for individuals and organizations to learn, step back and consider the future, and to explore new ideas, technologies, and steps for moving forward.

New England Region Airports Conference

Federal Aviation Administration

This biennial conference hosted by the Federal Aviation Administration’s New England Region offers training and education in general and breakout sessions; opportunities to network with and ask airport and aviation officials questions, and exploration of the latest products and services offered by vendors.

The Collaborative provided complete event management services including: venue coordination and logistics, online registration website, meal planning and catering coordination, graphic design support for outreach and event materials, attendee and vendor lists database expansion, budgeting, accounting and payment, A/V coordination, and on-site staffing. Despite a down economy, the Collaborative was able to keep attendance strong and sell-out its vendor exhibit hall.
