The conference takes place in Boelter Hall Room 3400. Below are step by step walking directions from the Luskin Hotel. If you are not staying at the Luskin, use Google Maps to get to the alley between Parking Structure 9 and the Engineering IV building then use the directions below starting at “Keep going straight.”
Exit Luskin driveway towards walkway to cross walk.
Take the walkway to the crosswalk.
Continue on walkway to crosswalk.
Arrive at crosswalk.
This crosswalk allows diagonal crossing, and that is what you should do.
Head towards the sign for parking structure 9.
Now turn right and head towards the stop sign.
When you reach the stop sign, cross at the crosswalk.
Bear right and continue walking.
Keep going straight.

You know you are in the correct place because you see this concrete staircase, but DO NOT go up the stairs. Instead, there is a door on your right up ahead that is an entrance to Boelter Hall.
This is the door you want to enter.
You know you are in the right place because there is a SECRET CODE in ASCII in the floor tiles. Pause here to decode this message related to the birth of the internet, which continues on the second level, a few steps up.
Here is the second part of the secret message.
Now walk down this hall with tiles evoking semiconductors. Note from the sign on the marble archway that you are entering Boelter Hall.
As you turn the corner to your left you will enter an elevator lobby.
You are on the second floor, and you can take Elevator 139 SOUTH-EAST to the third floor.
But it is only one floor, so you can also take the stairs, which are behind the white door.
And here it is! More semiconductor floor tiles.
Once you reach the third floor, the Birthplace of the Internet Museum (Room 3420) and the Birthplace of the Internet Auditorium (Room 3400) are both to your left. The UCLA Connections Lab, where you can sit down and use your laptop (but no food allowed) is on your right.

To your left is the hallway leading to the Birthplace of the Internet Museum (Room 3420) and the Birthplace of the Internet Auditorium (Room 3400).
This is the Birthplace of the Internet Museum with the actual first computer to send a message over the internet. Len Kleinrock will be here Monday, August 18, from 9:00-9:30 to tell you about how the first message was sent and to take a selfie with you. So if you are prompt to register on Monday, you can meet with Len.
This is the lobby of the Birthplace of the Internet Auditorium, where you will register and have a cup of coffee and a pastry on Monday morning between 9:00 and 10:30.
We added some posters for ISTC 2025!
And this is the Birthplace of the Internet Auditorium where ISTC begins at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, August 18, 2025!
