Some workshops and all tutorials will take place in IBM facilities in 425 Market Street, 17th floor. This building is also within walking distance (10 - 15 minutes) from the conference hotel and offers space in a meeting room environment. All rooms have daylight and some provide peeks over the bay or the city. The lobby is currently still under construction. Please check back later how to access the IBM reception in the lobby to get up to the meeting facilities.
