Curate your Personalized LiveWorx Experience
With so many sessions to choose from, attendees should identify sessions they want to attend and build their personal schedule in order to get the most out of LiveWorx. You can continue to modify your schedule throughout the event—this can be done in the content catalog or on the mobile app. If you make an update in one spot it will synch automatically with the other. We are limiting printed materials onsite so please familiarize yourself with these digital tools!
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the task, take a look at prebuilt recommended agendas to help you get started. Don’t forget to sign up for relevant trainings and UX labs as these have capacity limits and tend to fill up.

Getting to LiveWorx
LiveWorx is located in Boston’s Seaport district. This bustling area is a popular tourist destination due to the numerous shops, restaurants, and beautiful views of Boston Harbor. Attendees can take advantage of the complimentary shuttles running to the BCEC from the official LiveWorx hotels. Meet all hotel shuttles near the lobby of your hotel and at the BCEC NorthWest Level 1 Doors.
Buses depart every 30 minutes during peak times with service to and from: Boston Park Plaza, Doubletree, Hyatt Regency, Godfrey, Moxy, and Revere Hotels

If you prefer to be on your own schedule or if you stay somewhere other than the Seaport, public transportation or ride shares/taxis are also options.

The commuter rail runs less frequently from South Station (0.7 miles to the BCEC) to suburbs south of the city and North Station (2 miles or a quick ferry ride) to suburbs to the north.
