History
 The 2006 LinuxWorld trade show filled about 2/3 of the north bay at BCEC. For short time the owner of the National Football League's New England Patriots, Robert Kraft also tried unsuccessfully to turn the same parcel of land that the convention center is on into a new home stadium for the football team that would have been closer to Boston, but he was unable to get the surrounding neighborhoods to agree with the deal because of concerns about traffic.

The push for a new convention center in Boston came in the late 1990's when the semiannual Apple Macintosh MacWorld trade show, that had been held in Boston each summer, moved to the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City, in part, it was thought, because no single Boston venue could contain the entire show (though Apple denied this was the reason). The center has been controversial because it is located some distance from the main concentration of hotels in Boston, however two new hotels have been built near the convention center. The convention center opened in June 2004. That summer MacWorld returned to Boston as the BCEC's first trade show, but the show's reduced size, due in part to lack of participation by Apple, relegated its 2005 meeting (its last)[1] to the smaller Hynes Convention Center in Boston's Back Bay. The first Macintosh computer, introduced in 1984, upgraded to a 512K Fat Mac. The Macintosh or Mac, is a line of personal computers designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed by Apple Computer. ...
