A customized map for conference attendees will be provided closer to the meeting. Facility floor plans can be viewed online.
The Rhode Island Convention Center (RICC) is one of New England’s premier meeting and exhibition facilities. Located in the heart of downtown Providence, the RICC is within walking distance to restaurants, hotels, shops, art galleries, night clubs, museums and more. The Convention Center is conveniently connected to the Omni Providence Hotel, The Dunkin’ Donuts Center, and the Providence Place Mall via sky bridge.
Sustainability at the RICC: The RICC has been taking an active role in incorporating green practices in the management of their facility. Green Committee meetings are held monthly to discuss and implement environmental initiatives. Their mission is to establish a Green program that is both financially responsible and environmentally conscientious. This will be accomplished through placement of convenient public recycling bins for conference attendees and staff along with a comprehensive education of their entire staff, partnered with targeted polices and periodic evaluations.
Additionally, the planning team for Evolution 2019 has taken steps to reduce the waste created by our conference. For example, we work with RICC's catering team to reduce paper and plastic waste, we do not order individual bottled waters, and we do not produce a printed program.
Respect in the workplace: The RICC has a detailed policy and response procedure for reducing discrimination and harassment of and by their employees. You can read their policy here.
