We will be holding a reception at Noir Bar (inside the Charles Hotel) on Friday April 15th from 5:30 PM to 7 PM. We encourage you to attend this reception, however it is not mandatory.

The main venue for Saturday morning and the rest of the weekend is The Harvard Innovation Lab (Batten Hall, 125 Western Ave, Boston, MA 02134).

Ryan Allis will be leading a Walking Tour of the Harvard campus for all Hive participants on Friday, April 15th from 3-5pm. If you are interested to join, please meet at the front door of the Harvard Innovation Lab (Batten Hall).

Please bring government-issued photo identification (or a copy) for security reasons, and plan your transportation to ensure that you will arrive promptly at 7:00pm on Friday evening.

The Hive Global Leaders Program will conclude at 7:00PM on Monday, February 15th, after a brief reception with Hive Alumni from past programs.

Hive Schedule:
Because we have designed Hive as an immersive experience, we do not provide a detailed agenda to attendees. We hope that this way participants can be more present within each moment of the program. Our days will begin and end at the following times:

Friday, April 15th: 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Saturday, April 16th: 9:00am – 10:00pm
Sunday, April 17th: 9:00am – 11:00pm
Monday, April 18th: 9:00am – 7:00pm

Your attendance is expected at all sessions and essential to the Hive program due to its interactive and immersive nature and work sessions within small peer groups. Please let us know as soon as possible (asya@hive.org) if you will have any issues with attending any part of the program.
