About Boston and Cambridge
MIT is located in Cambridge, which is directly north of Boston across the Charles River. The Saturday–Sunday–Monday portion of the event will take place on the MIT Campus, in Building 32 (the Stata Center). Friday will take place at museums across the area, likely centered in museums in downtown Boston. Our Friday night reception will take place at the Waterworks Museum in downtown Boston.
Transportation
The public transportation system in Boston and Cambridge is "the T", including both subway and bus. The Kendall Square station on the Red Line subway is the closest to the Stata Center. In addition, the 1 bus stops on Massachusetts Avenue at the center of campus and travels directly across the river into the Back Bay neighborhood; this is a convenient way to access the western branches of the Green Line while avoiding a circuitous route through Downtown Boston.
Lodging

Several hostels are also available in Boston proper. We have a discount code for Hosteling International, available below.
