How to get to and around Boston when you’re attending SquiggleConf

Location

SquiggleConf 2025 will be held at the New England Aquarium Simons Theatre at 1 Central Wharf, Boston MA.

When facing the Aquarium entrance, Simons Theatre is to the right. Look for SquiggleConf banners outside the theater to confirm you're in the right place.

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is the closest airport for out-of-town travelers.

To reach downtown, you can take a ~15 minute Lyft/Uber or use Boston Logan Public Transportation.

We recommend the Harborside Inn at 185 State St, down the street from the venue.
