Meetings and conventions are an important part of the business world because they are more than just excuses to get out of work; they are crucial networking events where employees of various companies can get to know one another and exchange ideas about the future. For the best meeting space near Boston, you can never go wrong with the MIT Endicott House and its historic 25 acre estate. Times certainly have changed a great deal since 1931 when the Endicotts bought the property from Brigadier General Stephen Weld, built the house (which took five years), furnished it, and planted the rock garden. The family left the property to MIT after Wendell Endicott’s death in 1954. Since then, it has welcomed guests and groups from all over New England and around the world. While the property still retains the refinement of old, it has made some updates over the years in order to accommodate modern amenities and trends in meetings.

Meeting Planning in Beautiful Surroundings
Styles and trends may come and go as quickly as ever before, but some things never change and the desire for a visually appealing setting for a meeting is one of them. The French Manor-style house itself still contains many of the original Flemish tapestries, oriental rugs, Italian hand-painted ceilings, and rare paintings that belonged to the Endicott family.
Healthy, Gourmet Food
Dietary sensitivities are more of a concern than they have ever been in the past, and the trends in 2018 are going to move more towards healthy foods, particularly fruit, salad and yogurt, as part of the overnight meeting package. The ability to choose your own food is also of growing importance, which is why the MIT Endicott House offers breakfast and lunch buffet options. In addition to those, there are also sweeter indulgences for those special events. The world-class gourmet options are sure to have something to satiate every appetite at your meeting.
Flexible Budgets and Space Availability
Cost and size is always a concern, but one of the things that makes the MIT Endicott House the best meeting space near Boston is its flexibility. With four meeting halls that can hold up to 100 people at a time, one of them is sure to meet or exceed your needs for a meeting. Several packages are available to help you find the right option for your needs whether your meetings are in the daytime or in the evening.
Audio/Visual Presentations
Now more than ever, audio, video and graphics are playing more of a part in making conventions successful. Well-planned, well-timed, thematically appropriate multimedia presentations can summarize key data points while making them visually appealing and easy to understand. While business meetings are getting more elaborate and thus more expensive, multimedia is part of that cost increase. However, it can be a worthwhile use of your time and money if you really apply them wisely. The MIT Endicott House’s A/V capabilities include an LCD projector, a DVD player, and wireless internet access.
Recreational Activities
People who have come from out of town want to do more than just attend meetings. At the MIT Endicott House, you can learn how to make pie and grow herbs, attend a chili cook-off, or play a variety of outdoor and indoor games. There are even food-related events from an authentic New England clambake (since it actually is in New England) to a Texas-style barbecue.
The combination of old-world charm and new world innovation is one of many reasons why the MIT Endicott House is without serious peers or rivals as the best meeting space near Boston.
