Very Important Info for the Lean Startup Conference

   Below you’ll find info about tonight’s program, tomorrow’s schedule and a special bundle of goodies for our attendees. If you’re a Gold or Platinum Pass holder, do not skip the info about Tuesday’s workshops and site visits; you’re going to need it.   Sunday night  Our conference starts tonight with Ignite: Lean Startup at the InterContintental (3rd Floor); doors open at 8pm. Ignite is free for conference attendees, but you must register in advance as space is limited and it will sell out today. (Platinum Pass holders only don’t need to pre-register; we’re saving room for you.) It will be fun, and you should join us.   Monday morning  The conference takes place at the InterContintental (3rd Floor), and we’re serving a continental breakfast from 8 - 9am. The program starts promptly at 9am (we mean it).   Tuesday -- for Gold and Platinum Pass holders  See below. Don’t blow off reading this info.   --  Special stuff for you  We’ve partnered with AppSumo and our sponsors to bring you this awesome, free bundle full of entrepreneur goodies!

This bundle costs: free. What’s not to like? Check it out now. --  Tuesday -- for Gold and Platinum Pass holders  On Tuesday, we have startup site visits and workshops running all day. You can mix and match: workshops in the morning and site visits in the afternoon, or vice versa. (Workshops run for the full morning and full afternoon, so you you cannot attend a workshop and a site visit in the same half of the day.) You don’t have to sign up in advance for either program, but you do need to read the info below now.   Workshops  Workshops will be held at the InterContintental (check-in is on the 5th Floor). These are hands-on, so bring a laptop! The morning sessions run from 9am - 12:30pm; the afternoon sessions run from 2 - 5:30pm. Breakfast and lunch that day are on your own, though we will have drinks available and snacks for you mid-morning and mid-afternoon. (Where to go for lunch? We’ve listed some nearby choices for you.) While you don’t have to sign up for workshops, we ask that you decide within the first 30 minutes which you’re going to stay in for that half day.  If you are planning to attend the “Lean Analytics” workshop with Alistair Croll and Ben Yoskovitz, they ask that you fill out this survey and tell them about yourself as soon as you can: http://bit.ly/YEv5dB.  Site visits  Each site is within approximately a one-mile radius of the InterContinental, and we’re holding the visits rain or shine. You must get yourself to each site, and you must arrive on time; this map shows all the sites. Any of the following will get you around: walking, taxi, Muni and Uber. You can also try using #LeanStartupTranspo to help coordinate rides. (Note that breakfast and lunch are on your own. Where to eat lunch? See below.)  The schedule has changed slightly since we sent you a survey last week. Note the new schedule:  Morning Site Visits
