Seth Morrison, SVP, GM Corporate Initiatives for CTAM

"There are many reasons why CTAM chose the Hynes for its July 2006 event. The intimacy of the Hynes is perfect for our 3400 attendees. The building is so compact and so well laid out that it really contributes to the smooth flow of our event. And of course the location is outstanding. The convenience of having several great hotels directly attach ed to the Hynes is a huge benefit. Our attendees can easily walk from their rooms to the conference sessions, make the most of their time, and be just steps from the great restaurants and other options Boston has to offer. For CTAM, the Hynes is a great solution."

"The AAO Annual Session can only be held in ten cities in North America due to its size and scope. Boston, with its new convention center and soon to be headquarters hotel became one of the ten cities overnight. Boston has the history, facilities and local support (four orthodontic schools in the Boston area) to provide a wonderful experience for the AAO members," said Dr. Raymond George, Sr., AAO Trustee and AAO's President in 2009.

"The BCEC is located along Boston's Waterfront and is just minutes away from thousands of hotel rooms, Logan International Airport, restaurants, historic city sights and landmarks. It's a great facility for us," said Jeff Singsaas, General Manager, Corporate Microsoft Events Group. "Our attendees will benefit by coming to an easily accessible, accommodating and welcoming city."

Primary Medicine East
John Mooney, CEO

"We've needed a larger, more modern facility in Boston for a while. We're very excited about having the entire show on one floor in one place for our 7,300 attendees.

"Our Conference attendees spend from five to eight hours a day in educational sessions. Now at the BCEC, they will be more comfortable in great new surroundings, including state-of-the-art A/V -- which is also a big plus for our speakers as well.

"Pri-Med East is truly a Boston event. We've been anxiously hopeful about a new, larger facility for years, and now, as we celebrate our 10th anniversary, the BCEC is getting set to open. Everyone at MC Communications and Pri-Med East is very excited about the new building because we know it will better show off our city and ourselves. And, the BCEC offers us and the many other shows it will attract to Boston room to spread out and grow. That's exciting in itself!"

New England Grows!
Mary Hill, Director of Conferences, Meetings and Special Events

"With long-time exhibitors who are anxious to increase their space and a waitlist of more than 150 companies, we are looking forward to our move to the BCEC next year.

"We're excited about the new facility, which is incredibly conducive to exhibitor load-in and out. They've done a fantastic design job -- fewer columns than the Hynes, and everything that you'd expect from a new state-of-the-art facility. Not only will we be able to expand, our exhibitors will be able to expand their on-floor participation as well, with larger and more attractive booths."

Mary Larkin, Show Director

"The new BCEC is just terrific for us. It's incredibly close to Logan International Airport, it's right in the neighborhood where many of our exhibitors and attendees have their seafood businesses, and it's ultra modern and large, allowing us to expand after the limits of the Hynes kept us at zero growth for the past eight or nine years. Now we anticipate at least 15% growth in our first year in the BCEC alone.

"We really like the modern features for exhibitors -- one large show floor, very few columns, and even a completely wired floor."

IDG World Expo -- producer of LinuxWorld
David Korse, President

"When we learned that a larger event would be taking over our regular dates at the Javits Center in New York, we began a careful review of alternate venues and cities, mainly in the Northeast. Our exhibitors and all statistics and opinions pointed to Boston as the best location available.

"We love doing events in Boston . It's our hometown, and a great show town. The entire public sector and the event industry is very supportive here, and we've always found that people look forward to visiting Boston for all of the typical attractions, seasonal and otherwise. IDG World Expo is very happy to come home to the Hynes with this event."

National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts
Brien K. Jones, General Manager of Conferences & Institutes

" Boston is an incredible destination. The city teems with warm and friendly people. The attractions, dining and shopping selections are varied and conveniently located in the heart of the city. The level of service in the hotels exceeded all expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed my few days in America's Walking City and am looking forward to coming back next year!"

Vision New England
Stephen A. Macchia

"I would like to express heartfelt to you and the excellent ways you served us at our annual Congress this past weekend. It's always a joy to come back to the Hynes for this grand event for the Christian community throughout our region and beyond.
