Directions & Public Transport
San Jose has both light rail and bus options to help transport you through the city and those nearby. The Convention Center station is the closest (marked on the map). Visit http://www.vta.org/ for details on routes.
Join the AltConf line from W. San Carlos St. The line will run down the exterior of the Marriott, right next to the line for WWDC! We’ll have AltConf volunteers on hand to help guide the way.
The location of the AltConf line is marked in red:
Tuesday — Thursday, you’ll be able to access AltConf from the Marriott’s main entrance, 301 South Market Street (the opposite side of the Marriott to Monday’s line).
For those of you who also have WWDC tickets, you can access AltConf directly from the Convention Center (no need to go outside).
-See you all on Monday!
