Users Guide to Disrupt SF 2017

Disrupt SF approaches with just a couple days until we kick things off. Here are all the deets you need to make for a stellar conference experience.

Checking-In
Doors open to attendees at 7:00am on Monday and Tuesday and 7:30am on Wednesday. Programming begins at 9am each day. Print out your Universe ticket or pull it up on a mobile device for quick entry into Disrupt. Please bring your government-issued photo ID each day of the conference.

Registration
Universe is the official ticketing platform of Disrupt. If you purchased a ticket, you used Universe. We love them and we think you will, too. If you haven’t purchased a ticket, please go do that here!

Lost Badge Fee
Don’t forget your badge every day – there is a $500 reprint fee for lost or misplaced badges.

Parking
Disrupt SF’s location at Pier 48 is great because it is close to public transit and easily accessible via any shared ride service. Click on this map for parking lots and transit stop locations. We strongly encourage you to take transit or ride-sharing service each day of the conference.

The Giants play at AT&T Park on Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon during Disrupt SF. Parking will be at a premium and Lot A will be closed to Disrupt parking on each day due to the games, so we urge you again to use public transportation or take a ride-share service if possible.

Public Transportation
The easiest way to transfer onto MUNI from BART is at Embarcadero BART Station; SF MUNI’s 2nd & King and 4th & King stops are both a 10 minute easy walk to Pier 48.

For those coming from the South Bay, CalTrain San Francisco Station is very close to the venue and a light 10 minute walk to Pier 48.
