The workshop will be held on the Stanford University campus at the Bechtel Center.

interactive map shows this configuration.
Parking is available right at the Center, however it costs $1.50/hour at meters or $12/day with a permit. Alternatively you can park at SLAC and take the free Maguarite Shuttle to campus.
