Clothing you're comfortable flowing in

Bring a mat if you have one. We'll have extra mats for anyone traveling in.

Embarcadero BART and Muni station is a two-minute walk, easiest option at this hour. Rideshare is quick too, about 10 minutes from most of downtown with no morning traffic. Driving? The Four Embarcadero Center garage is open 24/7 and you'll come in off Clay or Sacramento. Booking ahead on SpotHero is usually cheaper than the drive-up rate.

Breakfast and coffee provided by our host, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP
