The Web Academy is proud of the fact that people from all over the world have made the effort to travel to Silicon Valley for this unique training experience. At last count, attendees have represented 47 states and 19 countries.
Located four miles from San Jose International Airport and thirty miles from San Francisco International Airport, the classroom site is at the intersection of Highway 280, Lawrence Expressway and Stevens Creek Blvd. See the Location page for a photo of the building and the Info for Attendees page for driving instructions from the airports.
Hotel accomodations in Silicon Valley can be difficult to find, so it's
recommended that you reserve a room as soon as possible. Expect to spend
$160-280 per night. There are five
nearby hotels (two within walking distance) and many more within five
miles of the classroom.
NOTE: Some travel agencies and corporate travel departments are apparently using a booking system which, when no hotels can be found in San Jose, starts looking for places in Fremont! Fremont is not close to the classroom site. It can be well over an hour commute time each way! Instead, look for hotels in Sunnyvale, Campbell, Saratoga, Cupertino, Mountain View or even Palo Alto.
