Boston in November is crisp, cool, and often unpredictable. Expect daytime highs in the upper 40s to mid-50s °F (8–13°C), with chilly mornings and evenings that can dip into the 30s °F (1–4°C). Rain is common, so it's smart to prepare for damp conditions and fluctuating temperatures.
What to Pack:
You’ll be walking between the convention center, hotel, and nearby venues, so dress in layers and plan for both comfort and warmth.
The Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Center is a large facility, so getting familiar with its layout is crucial to making the most of your AMP experience. Here are some helpful tips:
Familiarize yourself with the exhibition floor plan, including locations of booths, coffee stations, restrooms, and important event stages that you want to visit. Plan your route to make the most of your time, visiting booths of interest while making time for networking and learning.
