Transit options between the east bay and Palo Alto/the Peninsula are very limited. Participants from the east bay are encouraged to arrange carpools if you find that it will take you 2.5 hours or more to get to the event venue otherwise.
if you are interested in carpooling, list here your email address, city of residence, and whether you are looking for a lift or can give one to other people, and how many passengers you can accommodate, whether you plan to attend both days or only for certain hours.
