Entry instructions

The event is located at San Jose City College off Moorpark Ave. The Technology Center where the Summit will be held is at the corner of Bascom Ave & Moorpark Ave in Midtown San Jose. The Summit is on the 4th floor of this building, in room T-415, Auditorium Technology Conference Room. The Quiet Room is in T-402 Conference Room. There are two entrances to the Technology Center, one right next to the southeast intersection of Bascom Ave and Moorpark Ave and another to the southeast of the building inside San Jose City College's Campus. There will be greeters and signs outside pointing you to the Summit. Entering from either side, you'll come down a hallway until you see the elevator in the main part of that hallway.

After entry instructions

Take the stairs or elevator to the 4th floor. Look for the signs pointing you around the corner and down the hall to T415, the Auditorium Technology Conference Room.

Hazards

One of the two elevators is currently out of order. The other functions fine.

Toilet location
