Historic Boston is a city made for meetings. Travel to and from the city is extremely convenient. Served by more than 50 airlines, Logan International Airport is just two miles outside the city center, site of the World Congress meeting, with convenient transportation options to the airport from downtown and suburban locations. Accommodation is plentiful as well: luxury hotels and more moderately priced hotels, familiar chains and quaint inns are within a short ride to the convention center. The range of room rates is diverse enough to accommodate budgets large and small.
