Conversations in Boston determine the future. Boston has been a bastion of thought leadership for four centuries: pioneering, innovating, and pushing the boundaries of conventional wisdom. Nearly 250 years ago, Boston played a singular and catalytic role in the coming of the American Revolution. In many ways, Boston is where America was created, first as an idea and then as a Republic. And today, that tradition of “what’s next” continues to pervade and permeate all elements of Boston’s brand.

Join Worth for an intimate conversation with Cook Stone about this new approach to the at-home environment, how indoor routines are informing consumers’ lives and how brands can capitalize on consumers’ joy-driven purchasing.

Boston’s innovation index is unparalleled. The unique cross-pollination of the city’s industry sectors and its educational institutions fosters progressive growth. Boston is a hub of higher education, with over 60 colleges and universities, and this wellspring of intellectual capital directly drives the labor pool and ideas that underpin the city’s world-class healthcare and life sciences sectors. With a rich start-up ecosystem, and venture capital aplenty, ideas in Boston are born to thrive, particularly those that produce important dialogue around global challenges and how to meet them.

This enduring culture of innovation and progress profoundly impacts the travel experience in Boston. Not only can visitors see landmarks related to the nation’s founding – along with other seminal movements such as abolitionism, the birth of American literary culture, and the emergence of a modern portside city – but along the way they are asked, indeed pushed, to consider alternative viewpoints, lesser-known stories, and divergent world views. Museums and institutions in Boston are now embracing this mode of disruptive storytelling. Visitors to Boston will find much more than a city steeped in celebratory Americana, they will find a city of 23 vibrantly diverse neighborhoods, a majority-minority destination that reflects 400 years of immigrant history, a flourishing creative economy, eclectic modes of cultural tourism, and a delectable and diverse culinary scene. Ultimately, they will find a city that never gets old.
