Parking
I am one of the few people that live close enough to drive to the conference, but I wasn’t able to find any information about parking. There is a map on the convention center’s site of their lot, but it doesn’t have any rate information.
I was wondering if there are special conference rates available, and if not, does anyone know of a nearby lot that would have a weekly rate or something similar?
There’s a large open-air lot with very low day rates between Northern Avenue and Summer Street that services the whole Fort Point Channel area. You have to get in early to land a spot, though. It’s worth the trudge through the cold.
Otherwise, you may consider taking the MBTA commuter rail to South Station and switching over to the Silver Line, which would get you in even closer and save you a bundle on parking
The cost to park at the convention center is $20 for valet and $10 for self parking in the south lot.

But I agree with modulist. It’s easy to just take public transportation. The silver line from South Station is about 5-10 minutes.
You can take the Red Line to South Station. Exit at the South Station stop, and go up one flight of stairs. Take the MBTA Silver line SL1, SL2 or SL3 to the World Trade Center stop. Take the elevator up to Level 2. Take a left onto World Trade Center Ave, and the BCEC will be directly infront of you.
