Meet Our Company:

WTTC.com connects event and meeting planners to over 10,000 pre-qualified suppliers in key convention cities across North America, including the city of Boston, Massachusetts.

With WTTC.com, event and meeting planners can search for, find, and contact suppliers of all kinds. The site provides a comprehensive and searchable database of venues and services located in the Greater Boston area. So, whether you're looking for things to do in Boston, interested in booking a private walking tour, or need transportation for your group from the airport to downtown, it's only a click away.

WTTC.com is free to event and meeting planners and includes a private ‘planners’ page, where program information and business contacts can be stored and shared. The site also features a flat-rate, fee-per-use program review service provided by a Boston-based destination management company (or DMC).

Launched in March 2008, WTTC.com is a business venture of Welcome To The City, Inc.
