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.
Coming to the Hynes May 8 – 9!

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

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.

The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) and its partners from ABM had the opportunity to tour Save That Stuff in Charlestown, MA. Founded in 1990 by Erik Levy, Save That Stuff is a waste collection facility that offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods. Save That Stuff helps educational and governmental institutions like the MCCA uphold commitments to corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and cost control. The MCCA has worked with Save That Stuff for 10 years to reduce our convention centers’ recyclable waste. In a typical year, the MCCA recycles an average of 774 tons between the Hynes and the BCEC with Save That Stuff!
“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.”

"The outside marque at the BCEC not only added excitement around our event but it attracted buzz in the surrounding community and drew the attention of the media who put photos of the digital display in their press articles about our event!"
