TRANSPORTATION

From out-of-town:
The Stanford Campus is roughly equidistant from the San Francisco International (SFO) and San Jose International (SJC) airports. Without traffic, each airport is a 30-40 minute drive from campus (and the hotels listed above).

There are several ways to get to campus/hotels from each airport including by train, bus, shuttle and taxi. Your chosen hotel can provide detailed information on the best way to get from either airport.

Stanford will provide morning and evening shuttle service to and from the two selected hotels to the symposium site on campus. We will also provide information about campus and the specific symposium location. More details will be provided later.

Walking to the symposium is also an option—it is a 15-30 minute walk from both hotels.

Local:
Parking on campus on the weekend is generally easy and free. More information on the closest lots will be provided at a later time.
