DISCOVER THE HOST CITY
Named 2018 “Restaurant City of the Year” and 2019’s “Best-Ever Vacation Spot” by Bon Appetit Magazine, Portland, Maine is the perfect balance between quaint, iconic coastal Maine and urban sophistication. Symposium attendees will be staying in Portland’s Old Port, across the street from the Ocean Gateway cruise terminal.
Located just under 2 hours from Boston, Portland serves as the hub for the southern Maine coastal region, including nearby Freeport to the North - home of LLBean - and Kennebunkport to the south - vacation home of the Bush family. Local excursions include a wide variety of unique shops, craft breweries and distilleries, guided tours of Maine’s 65 lighthouses and more.
