Experience Kendall
The Experience Kendall campaign launched in 2025 as a way to invite more people to explore, experience, and connect with one of our most dynamic and innovative neighborhoods in the world.
Timed to coincide with major regional and international events bringing visitors to Greater Boston, Experience Kendall features customized promotions to draw visitors into Kendall Square to enjoy its arts, culture, hospitality, and public activations. From museums and public art to free music, fitness, farmers’ markets, and walking tours, we aim to spotlight Kendall’s legacy of innovation alongside its vibrant community.
Kendall Conversations
We host Kendall Conversations to give our members the opportunity to engage with thought leaders and one another on topics important to Kendall Square and the world.
Recent programming includes: The Artemis Project with Draper, Disagreeing Well with Nathan Barczi, and the Massachusetts Budget with Doug Howgate.
Professional Peer Meetups
We host gatherings to enable people from across Kendall to connect and work collaboratively with their counterparts in similar roles – communications, corporate social responsibility, open space planning and programming, and more – at other Kendall organizations. These gatherings help our members network and share information, benchmark priorities, and problem-solve around emerging issues.

Little Libraries
We help people connect through Little Libraries, a collaborative effort started by our members, and supported by all of us. We distribute books each month, typically centered on themes that underscore our Belonging in Kendall program. Members can host a book drive, and fill our libraries with your gently used books.
