Date and location

• Date & Time (PDT):
  • March 14: 9am-12:30pm 1:30-5pm @ 4op484
  • March 15: 9am-12:30pm 1:30-5pm @ 4op484

• Meals
  • Breakfast (W/Th/Fr) and lunch (W/Th) will be provided (Thanks Oracle!)

• Location:
  • 400 Oracle Parkway Redwood Shores, CA 94065 Yahoo map Google map
  • "4OP" is shorthand for 400 Oracle Parkway; the Oracle Parkway buildings are the 10+ story tall buildings visible from the US-101 Freeway.
  • You will need to sign in, get a guest badge, and be escorted by an Oracle employee, probably Chris Kantarjiev. Chris' mobile phone is +1 650 255 6810.
  • We will meet Chris in the morning 8:30 at 400 building reception. The receptionist has a list of names which should speed up the process.

• Direction:
  • It's about 15-30 minutes south of San Francisco International (SFO) (depending on traffic).
  • You can reach HQ via Caltrain; there is a free minibus shuttle from the Caltrain stop to Oracle, or walk (about a mile) from the Belmont stop.
  • If you're an adventurous fan of public transportation, you can get to SFO via Caltrain, but it's not easy. Caltrain to Millbrae, switch to BART, take BART to SFO. You need different tickets for Caltrain and BART. (Taking the Samtrans bus is easier and cheaper, but still requires one transfer.)
