Getting Ready for Seattle

Transportation: The Local Arrangements Committee has put together a handy survival guide with great tips for getting to and around the city. The guide includes airport ground transportation options, including taxi, shuttle, and public transportation to and from Boston’s Logan Airport.

Weather and Dress: Summertime weather in Boston is generally warm, sunny, and humid with average July highs of 82 degrees and lows of 65 degrees. Recommended dress for the conference is business casual. Remember that meeting room temperatures and personal comfort ranges vary widely, so you may want to bring a sweater or jacket.

Safety and Services: AALL and the Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau want you to have a safe visit during your stay in this amazing city and offer safety tips to ensure that you have the best experience possible. There’s also a handy list of services near the convention center, from locating the nearest ATM to finding a dentist.

Dining and Entertainment: Visit the Local Arrangements Committee’s welcome site for local information and suggestions to help you get the most out of your time in Boston. Print their extensive restaurant guide for local dining options, or the Quick Eats version, for lunch alternatives close to the convention center (included in your registration bag onsite). Did you know it’s food truck season? The committee invites you to enjoy a meal with your colleagues on Saturday, July 21, by signing up for a dine-around after the Opening Reception in the Exhibit Hall.
