Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Engine specializes in hosting Tough Tech-focused professional and community events, including company meetings, lectures, presentations, team offsites, networking events, and receptions. We do not host personal events such as birthday parties, weddings, or graduations. If you're unsure whether your event is a good fit for The Engine, feel free to reach out — we’d be happy to discuss your needs.

  • We recommend using public transit or ride-share services when possible. The closest public transit station is the Central stop on the Red Line, about an 8-minute walk to 750 Main St. There is a parking garage behind our building on 99 State St. Please see below for information regarding using this parking structure.

They will only have to do this once and the system will remember them on subsequent visits (or to other Metropolis garages).
