strolled around a bit yesterday we know already a bit about the conference locations. To get a feeling of the ground we have to cover, most JavaOne sessions are at the Hilton hotel and Parc 55 hotel, which are near union square (this is also where most of the expensive fashion shops are located).
Both hotels are located at Ellis street.
When walking east from there, crossing the market street (a lot of buses and trams drive over this street) you will encounter the Moscone center. This is the third main location and it is also where most of the oracle open world sessions are held (yes it is huge, hosting over 60000 people ).
Although the venues are all in walking distance 10 minutes max, while switching rooms from session to session we have to cover a lot of ground.
Today, we only have sessions in the Moscone center, so we can focus on exploring that venue a bit. Because it can be quite hard to find a specific room inside such a huge conference center, my strategy to find the rooms is just ask around.
Yesterday, I noticed that some of the sessions that were previously full and should stand in line for are now in my schedule as a seat reservation. So, I don’t have to stand in line anymore 🙂
Now off we go to the first session.
