We are excited that Array 2024 will convene at the Hynes Convention Center. This venue offers a central location in the heart of Boston’s historic Back Bay neighborhood, adjacent to Downtown. Boston Victorian Brownstones, beautiful gardens, and the vibrant Newbury Street are just outside the doors. Hynes is located on the Green Line of Boston’s MBTA subway system with easy access to Boston Logan Airport and the surrounding area for visitors to explore.

The Hynes Convention Center is directly connected to the Prudential Center, with over 60 shops and restaurants; it’s one of Boston’s most concentrated shopping locations. A few blocks away, one can find Newbury Street, which houses a concentration of local businesses. Newbury Street runs between Massachusetts Avenue and the Boston Public Gardens, connecting the cities main thoroughfares.

Boston is an extremely walkable city, with several parks and gardens for outdoor adventures. The Commonwealth Avenue Mall runs parallel to Newbury Street, offering a strip of calm next to the bustle of the city. The Emerald Necklace is a 1,100 acre chain of parks starting in Back Bay and ending at Olmsted Park, tracing waterways leading to the Charles River. In addition, the Esplanade runs against the Charles river, and the Boston Public Garden and Boston Common will be bursting with fall colors at the time of the conference in October.

Permanent treasures, hands-on exhibits, and ever-changing temporary exhibitions can be found at the city’s famed museums: the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Science, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the New England Aquarium, the Museum of African American History, the Harvard Art Museums, and the MIT Museum to name but a few.
