Welcome to Massachusetts, historic Boston and the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, home to two of the top convention centers in the world.
This week on"CityLine," a place to grow and the resources to do it.
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority offers space for people and groups to come together. Interim Executive Director John Barros shares the authority's vision for economic impact and community responsibility.
He also discusses the renovation of the Hynes Convention Center and Boston being a potential 2028 DNC convention site.

"The champion of this department was Levy Restaurants, an event and catering company associated with Hynes Convention Center. Levy’s cupcakes were basically beyond words. I’ve never tasted a better crafted cupcake in my entire 26 year-cupcake-eating-life."

Windows and skylights leaking like sieves. Walls and columns painted burnt orange and black. Rusting ventilation systems routinely spewing fluid.
Those are just some of the infrastructure and cosmetic issues at the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center, a sprawling three-level facility built in the late 1980s in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay, that crews are working to remedy.
The public-facing cosmetic changes aim to brighten the Hynes’s expansive interior, with fresh paint and carpeting and a color scheme of creams, light blues, and mints rather than burnt orange and dark olive green. Some of the most pressing work, however, has been out of sight of the general public, such as replacing power and air equipment.

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than seeing a city-kid on a boat for the first time — smiling, confident, and amazed after catching their first fish. To keep our program running, we rely on the generosity and support of programs like the MCCA’s Community Partnership Grants. Their commitment to community programs, particularly youth programs, makes our small operation and all those smiles possible.”

Something fishy recently took place at the Boston Convention Center ... but it was actually a good thing.
It was the 44th edition of the Seafood Expo North America/Seafood Processing North America, North America’s largest seafood trade event; it was held at the Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Center March 15-17.
This year’s exhibit hall covered 247,915 net square feet with 1,215 exhibiting companies representing 50 countries. The three-day exhibition, produced by Diversified, brought together thousands of industry professionals—from seafood suppliers to processing equipment, packaging, and services companies.

“From planning to execution, your ‘can do’ attitude made the process a pleasure.”
