FAQs

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?

Parking is available in the Hopkins Parking structure, just south of the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Parking should be widely availabe. There is no charge for parking on the weekends.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Please do not bring your printed ticket to the event. In the effort to reduce paper waste, we will not be collecting paper tickets.

Will lunch be provided?

Lunch will be hosted by the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, and provided by the SD Taco Co. There will be a vegatarian option available.

Please do not enter SDSC from the West Entrance. The West Entrance to the building will be locked all day. Please enter from the east, off Hopkins Drive.

Feel free to contact the organizers with any other questions.
