The PLAY opening reception, catered lunches, and Boston Harbor boat cruise are the perfect settings to mingle and network with industry peers.
Extracurricular activities: As one of the country’s most historic cities, Boston offers a wealth of options for sightseeing and entertainment, and June is a great time to visit. The timing of PLAY affords a couple of particularly unique opportunities. The grand opening of the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is scheduled for June 26, which is overlooked by the InterContinental Hotel, the host venue for PLAY.

Also, the Red Sox are off to an historically bad start, which has made one of the most expensive and hard-to-get tickets in town a lot cheaper and plentiful! The Sox host the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, June 27, in a rare weekday afternoon game at 100-year-old Fenway Park. What better way to round out your trip to Boston?
The misery of the Red Sox is your gain with lots of cheap tickets available.
