The Love Symposium is bringing together tech experts and passionate devotees to solve our hardest relationship problems. See: https://symposium.love
Entry requires a $30 Lighthaven day pass. We're not making any money from the event - this goes straight to the venue and includes drinks and snacks! If you haven't been to Lighthaven, it is amazing and worth the trip.

Logistical things you should know...
Address:
We're going to be at Lighthaven (2740 Telegraph Ave, Berkeley, CA 94705) which is a phenomenally beautiful nerd wonderland.
Payment:
To attend you will need a $30 day pass, and the only way to buy one is through this link: https://www.havenbookings.space/events/eternal-september ("Daily Access")
We recommend doing it before you leave home, because it will give you the code to the gate to get in!
In the most dire of circumstances - you're having technical problems buying a pass - come find me (Ann) at the event with $30 cash. But please reserve this for worst-case scenarios.
If you have bandwidth for added complexity, another alternative is to book a stay at Lighthaven. There are bunks and sleeping pods for like $70, private rooms for $130+. If you book a room, your day pass is included. Plus you can stay up late with us and not have to worry about getting home! I will personally be doing this. Here's the link: https://www.havenbookings.space/events/eternal-september
Gate Code:
You'll find the passcode in the Google doc when you buy a day pass or book a room.
You can come and go all day as you like.
How to Find Us:
Our home base will be in the Bayes building.
To get there, follow the signs, or ask someone, or follow these directions:
Go through the gate and straight ahead into the house. Take a left at the kitchen and exit through the glass doors. Bayes is the building on the left. Enter through the white door.
Food:
Lighthaven provides snacks and drinks all day!
If you're hungry for lunch or dinner, there are places within walking distance. The closest ones are Kiraku (Japanese), Mezzo (sandwiches), and Whole Foods (hot bar).
If there's anything I forgot, feel free to reach out to me (Ann) at hello@annpierce.com!
So pumped for the weekend! 💃🎉🕺💙
