Our annual tournament at Pinehills Golf Club last month was a wonderful time! Thank you to everyone who joined us and we are grateful for the support from our generous sponsors - this event would not have been possible without them. Thank you to our sponsors M&T Bank, Afrixury Tours and Travel, Aramark, Boston Red Sox, Cambridge Office for Tourism, The Capital Grille, Heard Global, Kings Entertainment, Legal Sea Foods, the Lenox Hotel, and Tito’s Vodka. A very special thank you to our partners at Pinehills Golf Club for hosting us again on these two courses!

Meet Boston was joined by seven partners at IPW in Chicago June 15-19 and had a larger and more dynamic footprint than ever before. The Meet Boston booth was abuzz throughout the show, convening nearly 200 appointments with international buyers and offering a bespoke lobster roll activation from our partner Legal Sea Foods, which has become a coveted invitation-turned-tradition for many international buyers! At the media marketplace Meet Boston met with 25 travel writers and editors from across the globe to continue to tell our story that Boston is a top destination for all. The team has been following up with buyers and exploring new opportunities across all markets since their return and are eager to strengthen the relationships developed throughout the show!
