The Harvard Club of Boston, the prestigious and historic event venue and site of the CPO Rising 2017 Summit, was recently named by Boston Magazine as one of the best event venues in Boston. Located in the historic Back Bay neighborhood, the century-old main clubhouse is situated in the heart of Boston on Commonwealth Avenue, accessible by public transit and centrally located to some of the best shopping and attractions the city has to offer. Known for its English oak paneling, lofty coffered ceilings, Spanish silver chandeliers, and roaring fireplace, The Harvard Club is the premier venue to hold an executive symposium like The CPO Rising 2017 Summit.
