Driving and Parking

Please contact your hotel for parking information (see the hotel information page).

Transportation Between Hotels and Conference Site

We will provide shuttles to Google HQ and to Stanford campus from conference hotels and back again. Information on shuttle services will be posted on the website. Please note that parking on campus is generally not an option, so you should plan to take a shuttle to the conference. A downloadable version of the shuttle schedule can be found here.
