There are (5) key items to think about before you book a meeting and The Four Points by Sheraton Norwood and the Forefront Center Waltham have them all covered.

Location – Location is much more important to attendees than one might think, having the stress of traveling the day of a conference is not how you want them to start their day! Make it as simple and easy as possible for them. Both the Four Points by Sheraton Norwood and the Forefront Center in Waltham are located just minutes off 95. The Forefront center is directly off the highway in Waltham -short distance from any downtown Boston needs or spots to take colleagues to after the event. The Four Points Norwood is a short drive off 95 near the 93/128 interchange as well as a few miles up route 1 from 495 – making it easily accessible from the western part of the state.
Food and Beverage – The goal is for every attendee to have a memorable experience at your conference. One thing that attendees will never forget is the food!

The screens with projectors, white boards, microphones, WIFI and paper and pen are all supplied for you along with our in-house AV staff to assist in getting you up and running for your event and troubleshooting any issues. When booking with us – you avoid incurring the added expense of an outside AV company.
