Parking at BWC 2011
Your best bet is to arrive by bus, train or plane and use public transportation (MBTA Public Transportation). If at all possible don’t drive to the hotel. Parking can be expensive and challenging (parking options).
However we have worked out a deal to park at MIT that you may be able to take advantage of if you hurry.
Here’s the 411:
Parking Passes for the MIT parking lot.
Location of the parking lot is here. It is just under 2 miles from the Sheraton hotel. You can walk back to the hotel or walk to Mass Ave and catch the 1 Bus over the river and then walk to the Sheraton. More detailed directions will be available when you check in at the hotel. Here’s a map to the parking.
There is no cost to park in the MIT lot for Dec. 31st, Jan. 1st, and Jan. 2nd. However Parking Passes are needed for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. People who leave the lot by 7:30am on the 5th do not need a pass for that day.
It’s $13 per day for Jan 3rd, 4th, and 5th. If you don’t need to use one of these days, you can pay less. If you don’t want to pay for Jan. 5th you will need to have your car out of the lot by 7:30 am, or you may get ticketed.
If you want a parking pass, and they are first come first served, please email Chris Swanson with your name, cell number, and if you need a 1, 2, or 3 day pass.

In order for me to identify you, you must post the following on the Wall of the Boston Winter Conference Facebook Fan Page before Monday, November 29th, 2010. Type the words, “I am going to BWC”. Early Monday morning I will look for your message on the wall. If there is more than one who reads this message and posts on the wall, then I will pray and choose one of you at random. I will hack inside the BWC Registration database. If I find there that you have completed a $50 pre-registration for BWC 2011, then for one of you, and only one, I will pull the levers of the BWC Machinery and I will refund your $50 and give you a free BWC.
Remember, type the words, “I am going to BWC”, on the wall of the Boston Winter Conference Facebook Fan Page before Monday, and if you haven’t already done so, complete your $50 pre-registration for BWC 2011.

Read through this document (focus on the last section) for all the instructions on how to ask and what to do with gifts as they come in.
