Air

Fly into Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). From Boston Logan International Airport, the cheapest way to get to the MIT campus is a combination of bus and subway. There are several options. The most convenient on is a combination of the Silver Line (bus) to South Station and then the red line subway to Kendall/MIT station. Fare is free when boarding from the airport, but is otherwise 2 dollars and can be paid to the driver if you have exact change. There are also tickets machines situated in all T stations. These machines take cards. They are marked with a logo consisting of a white circle containing the letter T.

Detailed instructions:

• Upon exiting the baggage claim area, go to the stop for the Silver Line. At most terminals, you can find the stop by going to the right after exiting the baggage claim area. The silver line stop is marked with a bus stop sign with the T-logo (white circle containing a black letter T). At most terminals, it is the last bus stop.
• Take the Silver Line to South Station. The Silver Line are the silver busses that are marked “SL1 SOUTH STATION”. They run approximately every 10 minutes.
• Get off at “South Station” (= the third stop underground and where all other people are also getting off)
• At “South Station”, take the red line subway inbound (direction “Alewife”) (after exiting the bus, walk back over the platform and then take the stairs down to the red line platform).
• Get off at Kendall/MIT (fourth stop) for the conference site and hotels near the conference site (for other stops in Cambridge, like Central Square and Harvard, stay on the red line at Kendall/MIT)

Bus/Amtrak

Most long distance buses to Boston, as well as Amtrak-trains arrive at Boston’s South Station.

At South Station, you can take the subway (red line) to the MIT-campus (fare $2):

• At “South Station”, take the red line inbound (direction “Alewife”) (after exiting the bus, walk back over the platform and then take the stairs down to the red line platform).
• Get off at Kendall/MIT (fourth stop) for the conference site and hotels near the conference site (for other stops in Cambridge, like Central Square and Harvard, stay on the red line at Kendall/MIT)

Directions to the conference site

The conference site is a four minute walk from the Kendall T station. The conference will be held in MIT’s Building 46 and Stata Center, which are across the street from each other.

Upon exiting the Kendall/MIT station, take Main Street in a Northwesterly direction (away from the skyscrapers of downtown Boston and the subway bridge, along the MIT COOP, a branch of the Cambridge Trust bank and the Kendall Hotel). At the first intersection (Main Street with Ames Street), there is a walkway between two buildings on your left. This leads towards a field. Take that walkway, once you arrive at the field you will see a building straight ahead with a peculiar architecture (no straight walls, odd geometrical shapes, etc). That is the Stata Center.
