Venue
Meeting Venue
The Boston Bacterial Meeting will be held at George Sherman Union located at 775 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA 02215.
Due to the limited availability for parking spaces, we recommend you arrive at the venue using public transit.
Public Transit
The venue is easily accessible through the Green Line B branch on the MBTA Subway – the venue is an 3-minute walk from the Boston University Central station.
Where to stay
Due to the FIFA World Cup 2026 games hosted in Boston this summer, hotel prices have skyrocketed, which may affect attendees coming from outside the Greater Boston area. To help address this, we have worked with Boston University to secure a room block at a discounted rate for their on-campus housing.

BU housing is at 10 Buick Street, Boston, MA 02215, and is a 10-minute walk from the conference venue. Rooms are available from June 21-24 for a nightly rate of $99.50. Payment in full is required to make a reservation. Each person will have their own private bedroom within a shared dorm-style apartment. These are 360-degree photos of the bedroom and common space. You can request a specific person/people by name as suitemate(s), and BU will do their best to honor the request, but cannot guarantee it. As bookings are made directly with BU, please direct questions about specific reservations to BU Events & Conferences by email: confreg@bu.edu or phone: 617-353-2238 Mon-Fri 9 am-5 pm.
