Annual Meeting
Welcome to Boston! Famous for everything from the Red Sox and Paul Revere to Cheers and clam "chowdah," Boston is a popular destination for so many reasons. Part history lesson, part modern metropolis, the Hub offers attractions to suit every taste and interest. Plus, it's incredibly easy to get around, either on foot or by the user-friendly public transportation system, called the "T". Hop on the Freedom Trail, a well-preserved pedestrian path that weaves in and out of historic neighborhoods, from the lively Boston Common and Public Garden to the gold-domed State House and Fenway Park. Between landmarks, you can shop the fabulous stores on Newbury Street, have a delicious authentic Italian meal in the North End or browse the antique shops and distinctive red-brick buildings of Beacon Hill. The more culturally inclined will not want to miss the city's world-class museums, theater and music venues. Family friendly to the core, Boston also boasts a renowned aquarium, children's museum and science museum, making it a great getaway for all.
Attendee navigation is easy at the pedestrian-friendly BCEC. Attendees save time with access to anywhere in the building in 8 minutes or less. The BCEC features wide walkways, two pedestrian sky-bridges spanning the exhibit halls and an escalator/elevator system that provides direct flow to every area of the facility.
Tours/Entertainment
ASCRS•ASOA will not host tours in Boston. The BCEC offers a Visitor Information Desk on the west side of the North Lobby. You'll find brochures and maps for Boston's most popular attractions, plus trolley tour reservations, theater tickets, and dinner reservation at Boston's great restaurants. There are also many opportunities to visit the city through your hotel. Please check with your hotel concierge or the Boston Visitor's Bureau for information on tours of the city.
