EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF BOSTON!
------------------------------

Boston, Massachusetts, USA, an international and vibrant city, rich
in history and culture, and established as one of the most popular
visitor destinations in the world, is the site of ED-MEDIA 96.

The ED-MEDIA 96 conference will take place in the Boston Park Plaza Hotel,
a hotel of classic Bostonian ambience and charm, near the history and
excitement of the city--next to Boston Common and Public Garden and a stroll
to the many shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes, and other attractions in
the downtown area.

With 56 area universities, science and technical museums abound! Boston is
home to the world's first Computer Museum, featuring an early model walk-
through computer and over 125 interactive exhibits. The Boston Museum of
Science features over 400 exhibits including the Omnimax Theater
Planetarium. You may also want to visit the world-famous New England
Aquarium or the Children's Museum, one of the best hands-on museums around.
And you may wish to cross the river to Cambridge to explore the MIT and
Harvard campuses.

The city also offers great historical and cultural activities,
such as the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum, Boston Symphony Orchestra,
Museum of Fine Arts, and Boston Ballet which reflect its tradition in
the arts; while theatres, movies, comedy clubs, and musical performances
show its innovation. Many historic sites related to the founding of
America are within walking distance and may be seen by following the
Freedom Trail.

>From the unique downtown shops and galleries along Newberry Street and
Copley Square to the 150+ shops and seafood restaurants of Faneuil Hall
Marketplace near the waterfront, to Boston's Chinatown. It is known as one of
the country's most walkable cities.

For sports and outdoors enthusiasts, Boston Red Sox baseball is played
in Fenway Park located within the city. And Boston is the gateway to
New England with many opportunities to visit the beautiful countryside
of lakes, mountains, and seashore.

Note: The ED-MEDIA 96 Conference will be planning technical tours of local
university labs, excursions for guests, and social events as well as
special hotel rates and airline discount fares. Further information
