We are delighted to be working with our Charity Partner for 2026 - The Innovation Trail, Boston

The Innovation Trail is a recently-formed nonprofit that brings Boston’s legacy of world-changing innovation to life for visitors, residents, students, and teachers. Our mission is helping to light the path for young people to envision themselves as the creators of tomorrow’s breakthroughs. The Trail organizes special events over the course of the year, partners with Boston's STEM-focused museums, and runs frequent walking tours. (There's also a self-guided audio tour you can find on our website, iTunes, and Spotify.)

Join the Innovation Trail – Exclusive for LSPN Delegates
LSPN delegates are invited to participate in the Innovation Trail tour on April 28, the evening before the conference. Please meet at the Hyatt at 5:30pm, with the tour concluding at 7:00pm.
