NOTE: The San Francisco Design Center Concourse is not the same as the San Francisco Design Center Galleria. Do not go to the Henry Adams address unless you want to go furniture shopping.

Parking
There is an outdoor parking lot on Eighth Street just after the San Francisco Design Center Concourse. There are multiple indoor lots within 1-2 blocks of the Concourse building.

Hotels
We encourage you to make your hotel reservations as soon as you decide to attend the conference. September is a very busy conference season for hotels in San Francisco, and both good rates and availability are tough to find at the last minute.

We have secured a limited hotel block for conference attendees, based on availability. The preferred rate is $209, excluding taxes and other hotel fees. Hotel Nikko did throw in both Internet and health-club access as part of our preferred room rate.
