Travel
By Public Transportation
The PodTales venue, The Lunder Arts Center is conveniently located one-half block down from the Porter Square red line station. Single ride fares are $2.90, or $2.40 if you have a plastic CharlieCard which can be used to store value for multiple trips. Ask at any T station for CharlieCard availability.
If you are arriving at South Station by bus, commuter rail or amtrak, take the Red Line towards Alewife. Taking the T, Commuter Rail (Fitchburg Line) or bus to MICE is encouraged and convenient.
Driving to MICE
There is a pay parking lot available to exhibitors at the MICE venue both Saturday and Sunday. Be aware, it is not an overnight lot. Since MICE is the same weekend as the Head Of The Charles River Regatta there will be an influx of traffic in Cambridge. Please be aware this may cause delays and plan accordingly.
Rideshare or Taxi
We also encourage the use of ridesharing services such as Lyft to get around the city as needed!
Where to Stay
This year PodTales will be the same weekend as the Head Of The Charles regatta, which means there will be significant competition for rooms around the city. Be sure to book early to ensure you have a place to stay!
