Event Location: Lasell University, 12 Central Street, Auburndale, MA, 02466

Parking is free and available in the main parking lot, located right off Commonwealth Ave — look for signage upon arrival. (View on Google Maps)

By public transit: Take the Green Line D train to Riverside — it's the last stop on the line. Lasell University is less than a mile from the station, walkable or a short ride.

Check In: From the main parking lot, follow the signage to De Witt Hall to check in and pick up your name tag. This is a short 5-10min walk from the parking lot, so please plan accordingly. The morning keynote and afternoon panel will take place in De Witt Hall.

Breakout Sessions will be in the Science & Technology Center, a short walk across campus.

Lunch will take place in Valentine Dining Hall, a short distance from both locations.

Accessible parking is available near both event locations. Please call/text (781-956-3514) if you have questions,  need accommodations or need directions.

• Attire is business casual. Comfortable walking shoes are encouraged.
• We’ll enjoy food and beverages throughout the day from Lasell University Dining Services. Gluten-free and vegetarian options will be available for both breakfast bites and lunch.
• Be sure to stop by our sponsor tables in the Science & Technology Center before or in between breakout sessions (pick up some fun swag and conference essentials!)
• We encourage you to please bring a refillable water bottle to use throughout the day. We'll have snacks and drinks available during breakout sessions.
• One of the goals of the conference is to build meaningful connections you can carry beyond the day - we'll have a networking icebreaker at check-in and topic tables at lunch to help you get to know your fellow attendees.
