This year marks the fifth ever Layer 8 Conference! Our first two were in-person, held in Newport, Rhode Island in 2018, then in Providence, Rhode Island in 2019. We know what happened in 2020 so the next two iterations were held virtually. But in 2025, we’ll be back in person and be held in Boston, Massachusetts on Saturday, June 14.

Location: The George Sherman Union, on the campus of Boston University, 775 Commonwealth Ave, Boston MA. (map)

Getting There: In Boston, the subway system is the MBTA or just referred to as “the T”. Take the Green Line’s ‘B’ train to “Boston University Central”. More info: https://www.bu.edu/lernet/pathways/direct.html The conference does not provide parking though there are garages available around the conference venue.

We are busy coming up with new and fun ideas for the day and we hope you’ll join us in Boston on Saturday, June 14th!
