The Conference will be held in the "Silicon Valley Room" in the official HHC 2018 hotel, SpringHill Suites San Jose Airport in San Jose, California, not far from Cupertino and Palo Alto, cities well known to HP calculator enthusiasts. This eliminates the need for transportation between the hotel and the conference. Therefore attendees will not need to rent a car for the weekend, unless they plan on seeing the local sights in the area, such as these:

10. Lick Observatory Thursday - Sunday, 12pm - 5pm. Whatever you do, don't take the unofficial backroad up the mountain!
11. San Jose "Things To Do" website Check the Technology category for:
    • NASA Ames Research Center
    • Moffet Field Historical Society Museum (huge blimp hanger!)
    • Whatever you do, don't go to the Apple Spaceship campus, where they demolished the old Hewlett-Packard Cupertino site to erect! Insert Planet of the Apes closing invective here)
    • Or you could tech scavenger hunt and see who can get their picture taken in front of the most tech company signs. Basically take El Camino Real north from San Jose to roughly San Mateo, within a couple of miles to either side of the road.
