Conference Hotel and Other Accomodations
The Conference Hotel is the
Doubletree Hotel
at the Berkeley Marina
It also looks like there are
dorm
rooms available on campus, probably in Stern Hall. These rooms would be
less expensive than the hotel rooms.
Airports
Berkeley is served by three airports.
-
The Oakland (OAK) airport is closest to the conference venue.
-
San Francisco Airport (SFO) is second closest and biggest.
Take BART from airport to Berkeley for $5.95.
-
San Jose (SJC ) is farthest away. If you can get a good rate on your
ticket you might consider it.
From both the Oakland International Airport and the San
Francisco International Airport, the Conference Hotel or the UC
Berkeley campus can easily be reached via public transportation.
Due to varying schedules throughout the day, it is best to see
Transit.511.org for
detailed directions.
Local Transportation
Public transportation is a major presence in the Bay Area. For
point-to-point directions utilizing buses, BART (the light-rail
system), shuttles, and other modes of public transportation,
please consult Transit.511.org.
A.C. Transit
serves several East Bay counties. This bus makes regular stops at the
conference hotel.
Berkeley, California
It's generally warm (but not hot)
in Berkeley in late June.
The average maximum temperature is 75 F (23 C) and the average
minimum temperature is 52 F (11 C).
Berkeley, California, is known for its higher education and cosmopolitan
culture and is the home of social movements, such as the
Free Speech
Movement, as well as innovative technology such as
BSD (Berkeley
Unix). The conference hotel is located on the water with a view of
the San Francisco skyline.
