The annual BIO International Convention in June was an opportunity for us to showcase what makes Kendall Square the global hub of life science. On Sunday, June 15, we opened doors at 12 Kendall Square venues to more than 350 participants from 25 countries. Our visitors came away with an appreciation for our commitment to improving the human condition through cutting-edge research, plus a sense of our legacy of innovation, arts, and hospitality.

Kendall Conversations
We host Kendall Conversations to give our members the opportunity to engage with thought leaders and one another on topics important to Kendall Square and the world. In 2024, these topics included AI, Kendall Square’s transformation into the premier global life science innovation ecosystem, Women in Science, and What’s Working (remote, hybrid, and flexible). More to come in 2025
Professional Peer Meetups
We host gatherings to enable people from across Kendall to connect and work collaboratively with their counterparts in similar roles – communications, corporate social responsibility, open space planning and programming, and more – at other Kendall organizations. These gatherings help our members network and share information, benchmark priorities, and problem-solve around emerging issues.
Little Libraries
We help people connect through Little Libraries, a collaborative effort started by our members, and supported by all of us. We distribute books each month, typically centered on themes that underscore our Belonging in Kendall program. Members can host a book drive, and fill our libraries with your gently used books.
