About this Event

This event is subsidized by the MIT Sloan Boston Alumni Association (MITSBAA). We are a 501-C3 organization that supports the strength and breadth of the MIT Sloan Alumni community.
Recommended Attire: Cocktail Attire (We’re at The Ritz-Carlton, so dressy or high fashion is perfect—suits/jackets, cocktail dresses or dressy separates. If you’re coming straight from work, come as you are—we’d rather have you than miss you.)

If public transportation doesn't work for you, the MITSBAA still wants to encourage you to make a safe choice. As such, the MITSBAA is PAYING FOR YOUR UBER HOME.
More specifically, we will pay for your Uber home up to $25 (anytime between 8:30pm on December 5 and 6:00am on December 6 for rides originating from the Ritz area). You will receive the code in-person at the event. It will not be otherwise distributed, it is not to be shared, it cannot be combined and there will be no refund for not using it. The cost of code is coming out of the MITSBAA's pockets to help encourage everyone's safety, your cooperation is appreciated.
Stay Overnight at the Ritz:
We have also negotiated a rate to stay over at The Ritz for $399 plus tax (vs $629 retail) and includes access to the Equinox gym. EXPIRES 11/11/2026.
Feel free to check your employer's corporate rate in case it is better. As of 10/24, retail is $651, AAA is $419 and Marriott points are 94,000/night, + optional $20 for gym.
In addition to staying over on Friday night, the rate also applies to Saturday night so you can make a weekend out of it.
