The weekend will kick-off with dinner on Thursday, May 16 and end with breakfast on Sunday, May 19. Panels and speakers will run on Friday and Saturday from 8:30 to noon, and we’ll have speakers during lunch and dinner on both days. On Friday afternoon, you can explore Boston on your own, relax at the hotel, or hang-out with friends, new and old. On Saturday afternoon, we’ll have an optional city excursion.
