2019 Knowledge Exchange Boston Program

Welcome It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you all to an extremely special gathering. After the astounding success of the Knowledge Exchange through 2018 and the first half of 2019, I am thrilled to return to a city that is one of the true heartbeats of both Knowledge Exchange and our industry.

Boston is one of the most dynamic markets. One of the worlds capitals of innovation; It is a place where the depth of industry and the richness of history converge to form a perfect flourishing environment. Deeply rooted in tradition but a hotbed of youth, the horizon of corporate business in Boston spans the pinnacles of higher education, manufacturing, technology, healthcare, finance, insurance and so much more.

We hope you enjoy your time with us today and form some amazing new relationships. Next up for us is the launch of both our inaugural Hotel & Destination roadshow in September of 2019 and Knowledge Exchange Experiences this Summer.

All my best to you always, Joseph M. Lara, Managing Director/Founder THE KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE
