There will be a shuttle bringing people from the Boston Marriot Peabody Hotel to the venue and back to the hotel at the end of the night. Please see the next question below for details. For those that will not take the shuttle, please see further options below. Coming from Peabody/Salem If you won't be driving yourself, arranging a taxi or Uber/Lyft to our venue from Peabody or Salem is quite convenient. It typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes by car from downtown Peabody or downtown Salem, depending on traffic. Coming from Boston You can also arrange a taxi or Uber/Lyft from Boston.
