HYNES Guide.Pdf V E R S I O N 5 . 0 Message from the Executive Director Welcome to Boston and the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center. Thank you for choosing Boston and the Hynes for your upcoming event, which will be in one of the top convention centers in the world. That’s not an empty boast: the Hynes recently earned the International Association of Congress Centres' (AIPC) gold standard, the highest certification level a convention facility can achieve under AIPC's strict guidelines. In fact, both the Hynes and the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in South Boston are now only the fourth and fifth in North America and the 14th and 15th in the world to achieve AIPC's gold standard. During your event, we hope you see what sets us apart and makes us among the best meeting and convention destinations in the world. AIPC's certification process examines 10 key areas of a convention center's operations, including customer service, quality of facilities and operations, employee relations, health, safety, security and emergency response, financial integrity, community relations, environmental responsibility, and industry and supplier relations. The Hynes, located in the heart of Boston’s dynamic Back Bay, offers visitors a high-tech, leading edge facility with a flexible floor plan that can accommodate events of all types and sizes. Conveniently located and in close proximity to Boston’s most popular hotels, historical sites, and tourist attractions, the Hynes boasts 360,000 square feet of handicap-accessible space, including 193,000 square feet of exhibit space, a 25,000-square-foot ballroom, and 35 meeting rooms. The facility was renovated in 2009 with new paint, wall coverings, carpet and lighting, as well as technology enhancements. We recognize that location, size, and flexibility are top priorities for event planners. At the Hynes, we offer that and much more. Our highly qualified and dedicated staff is the link that brings everything together and is ready to assist you in every way possible to make your upcoming event successful. Take advantage of our local food, qualified transportation services, free Wi-Fi for attendees and mobile apps, and our Guest Services Associates (the “red coats”) who will help your attendees throughout the event. Please feel free to contact us with any questions and concerns, as customer service is our top priority. It is our pleasure to be working with you now, and we hope that you will be back in the future. Cordially, James E. Rooney Executive Director Massachusetts Convention Center Authority Event Planning Guide Description This Event Planning Guide is part of your Event License Agreement (ELA).
