Our Host Committee is eager to welcome you to Boston, a highly walkable, diverse city with exciting new leadership from Mayor Michelle Wu and her team.
The 2022 RCC Roundtable is hosted at Suffolk University’s Sawyer Business School in the heart of downtown Boston, beside the Massachusetts State House, the Boston Commons and the Boston Public Garden. Faneuil Hall is in our backyard, and Beacon Hill and Charles Street are in our frontyard. We are on "the T" - the Boston public transportation system - and just a block from the Downtown Crossing Station.
Boston is a highly walkable city. We are close to the Charles River, the Charles River Boat Basin, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Longfellow Bridge for a lovely walk across the Charles River to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, a tech hub. Once you are at MIT, you are also close to the Science Museum, and two "T" stops from Harvard Square.
Our Welcoming Reception on Thursday will be hosted at The Bell in Hand Tavern, the oldest tavern in America, and our Reception and Celebration on Friday will be hosted at the MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge. See the Roundtable Program for more information!
