Transportation, Parking and Accomodations:
Consider staying at the Shattuck Plaza Hotel* or any Downtown San Francisco hotel and using the efficient BayAreaRapidTransit (BART) system to commute to and from the hotel and the Platinum Green David Brower Center where all 3 days of the research review and IAB will be held. If you fly in, you can take BART from SFO Airport to Downtown Berkeley and avoid car rental or limousine service.
