Hospitality & Venue Partner · Boston AI Week 2026
The Heart of the City
The Downtown Boston Alliance keeps Boston's downtown district clean, safe, vibrant, and full of life — and is partnering with Boston AI Week to bring festival energy into the heart of the city.
About the Alliance
The 34-block heart of Boston
The Alliance serves a 100-acre district at the center of the city, anchored by Downtown Crossing.
Clean, safe, and welcoming
Supplemental services and street ambassadors keep the district at its best for everyone who lives, works, studies, shops, or visits downtown.
An activated public realm
Markets, performances, pop-ups, and public art bring energy to downtown streets, storefronts, and public spaces year-round.
The neighborhood's voice
Formerly the Downtown Boston BID, the Alliance advocates for a thriving, inclusive downtown for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
Downtown Boston × Boston AI Week
During Boston AI Week 2026, the Alliance is helping connect the festival with the downtown district — its streets, spaces, and businesses — as Massachusetts celebrates how AI gets built.
