Boston Harbor for All: Waterfront Parks & Public Spaces – A Virtual Summit

Please join Boston Harbor Now along with public, private, and nonprofit partners for our second biennial symposium on how to realize our greatest opportunities for developing a welcoming and resilient waterfront, and islands. You’ll hear from local and national leaders during a day-long series of interactive panel discussion, virtual tours, and a keynote town hall about inspiring, inclusive, protected waterfront parks and public open spaces.

While this was originally planned as an in-person event, it will be entirely online in light of the ongoing public health crisis. We are working to ensure that the day feels engaging, intentional, and connected while we each join from different locations. The schedule includes planned breaks and ways to participate in the conversation.

Confirmed speakers will be announced on our website: www.bostonharbornow.org/bostonharborforall
