Getting to the Conference Venue
The conference will be at the Northeastern University Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Complex on the ground floor. Registration opens at 8:30AM each day, and the program starts at 9AM. It is a 5 min walk from Ruggles Station, which is served by the orange line, many local buses, and the commuter rail, and a 10min walk from the Northeastern University stop, which is served by the Green Line E and some local buses. You can check the MBTA website for more information.
Getting to Northeastern from the Airport
There are flights into Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) from many major cities.
NOTE: The conference starts after the Independence Day weekend, so a high volume of travelers is likely. Make sure to plan your trip accordingly.
Taxi/Rideshare: You can get an Uber or Lyft from the Airport to Northeastern. Just follow the Ride Share signs to the central parking garage. Boston traffic is unpredictible, but outside of rush hours this should take around 30 minutes and cost around USD25.
Subway: You can pay directly with credit card in the bus or at the turnstiles, or buy a (rechargable) Charlie Card at one of the ticket machines. Fares are USD2.40 per ride (or USD1.70 for the bus, transits are included). From the airport, take a shuttle to the MBTA Airport stop and enter an inbound Ble Line train towards Bowdoin. Change into the Orange Line at State towards Forest Hills and get off at the Ruggles stop. Trains run from early morning until midnight. You can find more information at the MBTA website.
