Get Konnected! 18th Anniversary Celebration

Join Get Konnected! , The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA), and the R.I.S.E Women’s Leadership Conference for a historic celebration: Boston’s inaugural “50 Most Influential People of Color in Hospitality & Tourism”.

Boston’s hospitality and tourism industry is a major driver of the city’s economy and employs tens of thousands of workers—yet the People of Color and allies powering this industry have too often gone unrecognized. Five years after the pandemic reshaped the sector, we’re coming together to celebrate, elevate, and amplify the leaders whose creativity, resilience, and innovation are essential to Boston’s growth and global identity.

Expect an unforgettable evening of recognition, community, and connection—bringing together hospitality, travel, tourism, and meeting planning professionals alongside civic, business, and community leaders. Come ready to honor excellence, build relationships, and be part of a movement that strengthens belonging across the industry.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
