Getting to BayCon
Getting to the Santa Clara Marriott is easy, whether you’re flying, driving, or taking public transit.
Flights: If you’re arriving by airplane, the nearest major airport is San Jose International Airport (SJC), located roughly 7 miles away; alternatively, San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or Oakland International Airport (OAK) are also options. You have the option of taxi, rideshare, or public transit to get to the hotel. The Marriott no longer offers airport shuttles.
Driving: For those driving, take US 101 to Santa Clara, and get off at the Great America Parkway / Bowers Avenue exit. Head north toward the Great America theme park, and turn right on Mission College Boulevard. You will see the Santa Clara Marriott entrance on your right at the first stoplight. Or simply enter 2700 Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054 into your favorite GPS app or device. Parking is available at several on-site locations, including a parking structure on the right after turning into the entrance.
Parking cost per day is $10 for all BayCon attendees. No in-and-out privileges unless you’re a hotel guest.
Public Transit: Local public transit options are also plentiful, with the Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) light rail and bus services offering convenient connections to the hotel’s vicinity. From SJC, the Airport Light Rail Station in Terminal B, several light rail lines serve the area. Routes can take between 1-2 hours depending.

From SFO, take BART to Milbrae and change to Caltrain heading south to the Santa Clara station. From there, arrange for pickup via rideshare or taxi. From OAK, take BART to San Jose Berryessa, use VTA to VTA Light Rail and get off at the Great America station.
