Underexposed is an invitation-only workshop that celebrates the role of design in meeting the privacy needs of a broad audience. Building on a foundation of technical and operational realities, this workshop will explore emerging best practices for creating a new generation of useful, usable, and delightful user interfaces. Through invited talks and round-table discussion, we will chart a vision of the grand challenges and opportunities in user experience (UX) for secure communication.

To and from the workshop
185 Berry Street is an 18-minute walk or a 10-minute bus ride (#10 to 3rd & Townsend, $2.25 exact change) from the hotel. The Caltrain 4th and King St. Station (which is the northern terminus of the Caltrain line) is a block away from 185 Berry, as are MUNI T and N stops.
Generally speaking, San Francisco has a variety of publc-transport options, so we encourage you to check Google Maps, 511.org or a similar service to figure out your best options.
Finally, walking along The Embarcadero toward the Ferry Building has beautiful views of the Bay, so if the weather is dry (which it should be), consider taking a stroll.
Airport
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is your best bet if you're coming in from out of town. There are a variety of public-transport options for getting to and from the airport, including BART and ride-sharing apps. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to talk them through.
