About Us

Tufts University is located just a few miles north of Boston, yet the quiet campus offers traditional New England charm. The campus is situated close to cultural and historic Boston, Cambridge, and Logan International Airport, all located only minutes away and accessible by public transportation.
We offer a broad range of meeting spaces including large auditoria that seat from 100 to 600 participants; classroom-style plenary and breakout spaces from 10 to 100; and banquet space for up to 500.

Each summer from late May through mid-August, we open up our residential halls to conference guests and offer convenient accommodations close to your meeting. These accommodations are furnished with twin beds, bureaus, desks, chairs and a closet. We also supply each room with linens, pillows, blankets, towel and soap. In most of our residential halls, shared bathrooms are located along the hallway.

Various meals, breaks and receptions can be tailored to meet the needs of your group. Tufts' skilled chefs can work with you to develop a variety of menus that will please your guests as well as take into account your budgetary guidelines. Conference dining is offered in the Dining Hall and catered meals in private dining rooms. We can also help with arrangements for on- or off-campus receptions, clambakes, theme parties and more!

In addition to the many opportunities for entertainment and sports activity on campus, a wide variety of tours, trips, movies and other special activities are arranged for our conference participants each summer. This site describes many of the activities held at Tufts University during the summer. You will also find further information regarding the Tufts campus, housing and dining, conference coordination and support services.

We can assist you in making plans for a conference on the Tufts University campus or we will cooperate with one of the many fine area hotels to arrange and coordinate your conference, institute, seminar or meeting.

Tufts University also has a wonderful conference center in Talloires, France just 20 miles from Geneva, for your international or European programs.

In addition to its conference planning expertise, Tufts has over 30 years of experience offering summer English as a Second Language programs as well as programs for university and high school students both here and abroad.
