- Hynes Convention Center: Back Bay venue for mid-size conferences and trade shows
- Fenway Park and TD Garden: Sports-adjacent activations, corporate hospitality, and consumer events
- Seaport District: Boston's hottest neighborhood for brand pop-ups, tech company launches, and consumer activations
