Convenient Location. Intimate Setting.
Flexibility and proximity. Those are the hallmarks of the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center. Outside, the streets of Boston's Back Bay bustle with activity. Inside you'll find all the elements required to achieve highly successful, productive meetings and events - superior facilities, a user-friendly layout, plus state-of-the-art amenities and service.

Of course, the Hynes also offers something no other convention center can: an intimate urban setting in one of the most desirable tourist destinations in the world. Its convenient location - just a short ride from Logan airport, accessible to major roadways and public transportation - makes the Hynes an easy day trip for any East Coast visitor.
