Gillette Stadium

This year’s Progress Connect is taking place at Gillette Stadium, a unique venue in Foxborough, MA (29-miles south of Boston and 25-miles north of Providence), on over 17-acres land with signature panoramic stadium views. Located in the center of Patriot Place, this airy space is easily accessible with ample parking and home to multiple restaurants and shops, with two hotels on site. "Gillette Stadium celebrates New England’s heritage with a unique display of local flavor. A stylized lighthouse and bridge greets those entering the stadium at the Patriot Place Gate. The coastal heritage of the region is also represented in a seascape scene that complements the bridge and lighthouse and flanks the players’ entrance to the field." With a field end zone cocktail reception, raised 50-yard line panoramic stadium view, dedicated networking lounge, and luxury suite sessions, this event is sure to impress.
