Boston Convention and Exhibition Center
The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center is the largest exhibition center in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, with some 516,000 square feet (48,000 m²) of contiguous exhibition space. It is located near the South Boston waterfront, Boston's World Trade Center and the last exit on Interstate 90 before Logan Airport. It is also served by the Silver Line (MBTA). It opened in June 2004.
The push for a new convention center in Boston came in the late 1990's when the semiannual Apple Macintosh MacWorld trade show that had been held in Boston each summer moved to the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City, in part, it was thought, because no single Boston venue could contain the entire show (though Apple denied this was the reason). The center has been controversial because it is located some distance from the main concentration of hotels in Boston.
