What is the conference venue’s street address? The conference venue’s street address is 1585 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138. 

  • Please note that we ask participants to enter Wasserstein Hall via the entrance on the corner of Massachusetts Ave and Everett Street (which corresponds to the address above) directly next to the “Harvard Coop”. Staff will be on hand to direct you to the Milstein Conference Center within Wasserstein Hall. All other doors at HLS are locked.

How do I get to (and around) Harvard? Find key information, including a campus map and travel instructions from the airport here.

How far are the primary conference hotels from the venue? We have also included a map below with the main conference hotels and the conference venue pinned. Both the Porter Square Hotel and Hotel 1868 are about a 15-20 min direct walk to HLS.

What about public transit around Cambridge/Boston? You can visit the public transit website to find point-to-point directions via the subway or bus routes (including travel time and specific fare information). The conference venue is a 10-15 min walk from either the Harvard Square Subway/T stop or the Porter Square Subway/T stop–both on the “Red” line. “Downtown” Boston (the Boston Common area) is around 15-20 mins on the subway.

What to do in Boston? June is beautiful in Boston! The City of Boston has a fantastic websitededicated to tourist tips, maps, and other information. Or just ask anyone from the Center/Harvard. We are always happy to provide tips and advice.

Always check Google Maps! We also encourage participants to use their Google maps for most up-to-date travel information, including directions to HLS, airports, downtown Boston, and more. Boston/Cambridge traffic, public transit delays, and the like can be unpredictable, so it is best to check Google.
