Parking

At the Scripps Forum there is no public parking lot. You cannot park in the forum parking lots unless you have received a special permit from us — otherwise you will be ticketed by UCSD.

Local attendees and others who are driving should park at Kellogg Park, a public park at the beach (see our map) that is about a 10 minute walk from the meeting space. We will have a shuttle pick up from this parking lot, at the entrance (see shuttle schedule below).

For UCSD parking permit holders, there is also a UCSD shuttle between campus and SIO that you can take if you wish to park on campus. Make sure to allow sufficient time. You can also park in the Birch Aquarium parking lot with a UCSD permit which is a 10 minute walk.

For those who arrive early there is also some nearby street parking available.

 

Transportation in the San Diego area

The hotel and the UCSD campus are about 15 miles (20-30 minutes) north of San Diego International Airport. Information about the airport and local transportation is available San Diego International Airport web site.
