Room Reservations

We would greatly appreciate you staying in one of the conference room blocks. Maintaining reasonable conference registration rates requires that we fill the hotel room reservation blocks.

Both room block covers Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights (October 18-20), with checkout on Wednesday, October 21. Limited additional rooms are available in the Hyatt for attendees arriving Saturday, October 17 or checking out Thursday, October 22.

Getting to San Jose

  • The San Jose International Airport (SJC) is about 4 miles (about 15 minutes by car, depending on traffic) from downtown San Jose.
  • The San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is about 36 miles (45-75+ minutes by car, depending on traffic) from downtown San Jose.
  • The Oakland International Airport (OAK) is about 36 miles (45-75+ minutes by car, depending on traffic) from San Jose and may offer less expensive flights from some parts of the country.

Transportation around the Bay

  • Taxi/Rideshare: Taxis and rideshares will be the most convenient option from any airport to the hotel, especially if you’re carrying luggage or arriving during off-peak hours. If you’re being reimbursed by your company, this is usually the simplest and most efficient choice.

  • Public transit: If you are looking to explore more of the bay (such as San Francisco or Oakland), there are several options, including VTA, BART, MUNI, Caltrain, and Amtrak
