“Boston’s customer service was absolutely wonderful. I have never seen such teamwork. Whatever the situation or the challenge, they find solutions. Their team did an amazing job to help with some unexpected transportation challenges. They came up with innovative solutions for our attendees and kept us informed every step of the way. We left Boston feeling incredibly happy. They earned an A+.”

“Boston has hosted our meetings before and ALWAYS does a great job. The Bureau, the BCEC and the hospitality community do a great job and understand the importance of this meeting and its attendees.”

“The AASLD (American Society for the Study of Liver Diseases) and ATC (American Transplant Congress) have both experienced success and growth by holding their events in Boston. It is the perfect situation for medical meetings to convene. Boston offers great accessibility for attendees including European participants, so our international attendance is greater. Our attendees love the fact that the city’s restaurants and cultural attractions are all so centrally located. Of course, Boston is home to so many great hospitals and medical schools and so many professionals, fellows and trainees are located right there. And to top it off, the customer service Boston offers is among the very best. I’ve been spoiled.”

“The AAO Annual Session can only be held in ten cities in North America due to its size and scope. Boston, with its new convention center and headquarters hotel became one of the ten cities overnight. Boston has the history, facilities and local support (four orthodontic schools in the Boston area) to provide a wonderful experience for the AAO members.”

“We love doing events in Boston. It’s our hometown, and a great show town. The entire public sector and the event industry are very supportive here, and we’ve always found that people look forward to visiting Boston for all of the typical attractions, seasonal and otherwise.”

“The BCEC is a wonderful venue. The layout, cleanliness and the people who work there are true professionals. Being a local Bostonian all my life and having the opportunity to stay at the Westin Waterfront was a real treat. I love Boston, and now I love it even more after seeing it from an attendee’s point of view.”

“We are very pleased that we have booked our 2014 Annual Conference at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. Our annual conference brings together more than 7,000 employee benefits practitioners and we know that our attendees will love being in Boston and the Waterfront area. The BCEC has everything that we look for when we are hosting a conference and that coupled with Boston’s attraction as a tourist destination will help make our event a huge success.”

“The Hynes is right in the city center, connected to great hotels, and so ideally located. It’s such a compact facility but has the exhibit halls and meeting room space to accommodate our entire event including breakout sessions.”

Director of Meetings
American Association of Law Libraries

“There are many reasons why CTAM chose the Hynes for its July 2006 event. The intimacy of the Hynes is perfect for our 3,400 attendees. The building is so compact and so well laid out that it really contributes to the smooth flow of our event. And of course the location is outstanding. The convenience of having several great hotels directly attached to the Hynes is a huge benefit. Our attendees can easily walk from their rooms to the conference sessions, make the most of their time, and be just steps from the great restaurants and other options Boston has to offer. For CTAM, the Hynes is a great solution.”

SVP, GM Corporate Initiatives

“We had a wonderful experience at the Hynes. If we could, we would come back and use it again, but we’ve outgrown the space. It is such a fabulous setup for our attendees. They really enjoyed the convenience of the facility, hotels and restaurants.

“Overall, we had a very successful meeting in Boston. Our attendees loved the city and everything it has to offer. It is a great fit for our group. I hope that we will find the BCEC a good fit for the future.”

“Judy Sheng and her team help us get the most competitive rates, push for additional rooms when we need them, and make our overall hotel package tighter. They’re so knowledgeable about the hotels and which are the right fit for each program, and they’re able to offer great solutions that cover everything from room blocks to specialized services. They saved us a lot of time!”

Renee Aubin

“All I can say is that when it comes to hotel services and solutions, Boston is terrific and wonderful. They’re responsive, they direct me to the right source, and they’re always willing to step in and solve a challenge themselves.” The AFT biennial convention is also coming to Boston and the BCEC this July with over 12,000 hotel nights.”
