Save the date for November 7, 2026. The conference will be held at the MCLE Conference Center at Ten Winter Place in Boston's Downtown Crossing district. Winter Place is a private way off Winter Street, halfway between Tremont Street and Washington Street.

Our aim is to center and empower Asian American women; however, we welcome people of all genders, ages, and races/ethnicities to our community events and conference. We know that being an Asian American woman can come in many different shapes and forms and we want to be inclusive and embrace whoever you are. We invite allies and supporters of the Asian American women community to learn, listen, and contribute even if you do not personally identify as an Asian American woman.

Yes — if you're registering a group of 5 or more, please contact us at conference@girlsaspire.org and we'll follow up with group pricing details.

The MCLE Conference Center is easily accessible by public transit. Park Street Station, serving the Red and Green Lines, and Downtown Crossing Station, serving the Red and Orange Lines, are each just half a block away. State Street Station, serving the Orange and Blue Lines, is four blocks down Washington Street, and the Silver Line stops right outside the center on Temple Place.

There is no parking at MCLE, but several parking lots are located on or near Washington Street. The closest is the Lafayette Place Garage at One Avenue de Lafayette. Parking at the Lafayette Place Garage, as with other downtown Boston garages, can be expensive. A Lafayette Place Garage parking stub may be validated at the MCLE registration desk for $1 off each of the first two hours of parking. From the garage, the conference center is approximately a block away.

Yes. The MCLE Conference Center is wheelchair accessible, and assisted listening devices are available. If you have a disability or other accessibility needs, please let us know in advance so we can help make your visit as convenient and comfortable as possible. Contact us at conference@girlsaspire.org to make arrangements. 

There's no formal age restriction — we welcome students, early-career professionals, and established leaders alike. That said, our audience tends to skew college-age and up, since our pricing and content are geared toward that stage of career development.

We recognize that “Asian American” encompasses many cultures, ethnicities, generations, identities, and lived experiences. Our goal is to create space for diverse voices and perspectives while building connections across our communities.
