In 2010, Build Business heads to Boston! In case you have not had the pleasure of visiting Boston previously, the city is a wonderful blend of stylish sophistication and New England charm.
The conference headquarters hotel is the award-winning Boston Marriott Copley Place, centrally located in the historic Back Bay district, minutes away from Trinity Church and Boston Common. Before or after the conference, make plans to shop on ritzy Newbury Street, catch a baseball game at Fenway Park, or relive the story of the American Revolution in one of its original settings as you walk the Freedom Trail. The remarkable architecture and ambience of the city’s legendary neighborhoods will rejuvenate you.
To reserve a room at the Boston Marriott Copley Place, please call 1.800.266.9432 or visit https://resweb.passkey.com/go/SMPS2010 to book reservations online. The Courtyard Marriott Copley is also nearby, or you can search www.hotels.com for other nearby hotels.
