JOIN US FOR A BOSTON ADVENTURE!
Make the most of your time in Boston, and join us after the Symposium for a guided evening tour that brings the city to life. This is an easy, fully planned experience. No maps, no tickets, no logistics. Just show up and enjoy the evening with fellow Symposium attendees.
The Symposium focuses on information and support. This tour is about connection and community engagement. It gives you time to be with fellow survivors, patients, caregivers, supporters, Alliance staff, board members, and medical professionals in a more relaxed setting. You can continue conversations from the day, build relationships with people who understand your experience, and connect in ways that often lead to some of the most meaningful moments of the event.
