BART + connection:
Taking BART to the Downtown Berkeley or Rockridge stations gets you close, but you will need to get to the conference center 1.5 miles away. It is a 30 minute walk uphill, so we suggest one of these options to get you right to the door.
- AC Transit. Click here for simple directions. Fare is $2.10 and the ride is about 12 minutes. Buses leave every 30 minutes at 7:34 a.m., 8:04 a.m., 8:34 a.m., etc.
- Take a taxi. A line is located at BART Plaza immediately outside the Downtown Berkeley station.
- Try Uber or another car service of your choice.
What to bring:
Business cards, a way to take notes, and an inquiring mind!
