A full description of the conference center and venue information is available online (https://theconfcenter.hms.harvard.edu).

Boston, Massachusetts was selected as the location for the conference due the city’s central location and significant availability of public travel infrastructure and family support options. The Boston South Station train depot and Boston Logan International Airport are major transportation hubs allowing attendees to travel by train or direct flight. From South Station and the Logan International Airport, the conference center is a short ~30 min commute away by the Boston MBTA public subway system. The conference venue and all necessary transportation systems are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Ease in transportation is a major component of the organizing committee’s efforts to limit the environmental impact of the conference. Additional considerations include restricting use of print materials wherever possible and ensuring conference attendees have access to an online abstract book. Attendees have many options for hotel lodging throughout the local Longwood Medical and greater Boston area.
