Travel Costs

As an IEEE Young Professionals leader, there are potentially several sources of funding available to subsidize or cover your travel, lodging, and registration:

• The $300 2026 IEEE Regions 1 and 2 Young Professionals Travel Grant
Contact us for more information
• Your IEEE Section
• Talk to your Section Chair and attend your Section ExCom to inquire
• Other IEEE Organizational Units (e.g. your Chapter, Society)
• Your Employer

If IEEE is funding your attendance, be sure to abide by the Expense Reimbursement Guidelines for IEEE Volunteers.

If you are coming to the YP Summit from outside the Boston metropolitan area, here are expected ranges of costs to attend:

	Minimum	Typical	Maximum
Travel/Lodging Total	$281	$427	$743
Registration	$150	$150	$150
Anticipated Total	$431	$577	$893

* The lodging cost is calculated based on the BU summer housing rate, which is significantly cheaper than regular hotels.

How to Get to Boston

Boston is easily accessible from across IEEE Regions 1 and 2:

• Direct flights to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)
• By Amtrak, MBTA Commuter Rail, and regional bus services
• By Car

Regardless of how you get to Boston, we recommend using the MBTA subway system (the "T") and commuter rail to get around. The subway connects downtown Boston with major neighborhoods, universities, and transportation hubs. Logan Airport is also connected to the city via the Silver Line and airport shuttle services. If you are coming by car, consider parking at your hotel or using park-and-ride garages near MBTA stations, as parking in downtown Boston can be limited and expensive.
