What our clients say
Brigham and Women's Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology holds our annual Fellows' Intro Allergy Course at Simmons College every July. I was struck by the level of professionalism and communication when I first started working with the team at Simmons, and that has continued to this day. Through the entire course, I felt seen and supported, with help just a phone call away if needed. Having an event at Simmons means you are taken care of, in good hands, and can be worry free about your event going off without a hitch.

I have worked with Simmons University Conference Services for many years. Lauren and her team are great to work with. They are very responsive and professional, and they ensure everything is perfect for your stay. They make setting up our week long camp easy and are there every day to ensure everything runs smoothly.
- Steven Goldstein, Owner/Director, Play By Play Sports Broadcasting Camps
We have been renting the Linda K. Paresky conference space for our monthly Grand Rounds and have had an absolutely wonderful experience. Daisy is professional, kind, and well-organized. Additionally, the staff is always responsive and helpful. It has been a reliable and welcoming location for our meetings, and I would highly recommend it.
- Maryellen O’Toole, Academic Project Coordinator, Department of Dermatology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital
We have had a wonderful experience hosting our Focus Collegiate Summer Cohort at Simmons University for the past three summers. The campus facilities have been a perfect fit for our students and programmatic needs, and the Conferences and Events team has been incredibly responsive and helpful at every turn. We truly value the partnership and look forward to returning for the foreseeable future.
- Rich Davino, Managing Director, Focus Collegiate
The Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society (NESACS) has found the facilities at Simmons University to be of the highest quality and the staff to be responsive and professional. The location, in proximity to the Longwood Medical Area and Fenway Park, provides an enticing composite of professional, academic, and entertainment options. We at NESACS would recommend Simmons University for anything from a sit down three course dinner with lecture to a day long conference complete with poster session.
- Meg Greenslade, NESACS Administrative Coordinator, Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society
