Boston University – Events & Conferences

Boston University Events & Conferences rents campus spaces for meetings, conferences, performances, and dining year-round, with overnight accommodations available in summer. Venues range from auditoriums and fixed-seating halls to multifunctional rooms, conference rooms, and the Dahod Family Alumni Center at The Castle. Professional event planners help clients pick a setting and tailor the details, and the campus hosts summer programs and conferences such as NeuroErgonomics 2026.

From late May to mid-August, BU’s residence halls house adult groups, youth groups, conference attendees, and summer interns. High-rise halls on the Charles River Campus offer views of the river and downtown. An award-winning in-house culinary team caters everything from a small breakfast to a gala dinner, with set menu packages or custom menus. Specialty venues such as Agganis Arena, the Dance Theater, and the FitRec Center add options for larger or more active events.
