We are pleased to hold our third annual Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition in the city that is at the world's leading information technology center-San Jose, California. Once a sleepy agricultural community, San Jose rocketed to international prominence shortly after the invention of the silicon IC chip at Fairchild Semiconductor in nearby Palo Alto in 1961. That converted the region just south of San Francisco into the famed Silicon Valley, with San Jose as its undisputed capital. When Apple invented the personal computer next door in Cupertino, San Jose became a major personal computer hub as well, and then a major Internet and e-commerce center with the formation of eBay, which is headquartered there. Today, San Jose is home to 6,000 information technology enterprises employing 250,000 IT specialists, the largest concentration of technology expertise on the planet. While it is America's 10th largest city and an economic powerhouse, it is consistently rated among the safest and most livable of cities in the U.S., featuring many cultural attractions, such as its Center for the Performing Arts, and tourist attractions, such as its popular Tech Museum of Innovation. The city is also a pedestrian-friendly environment with many parks, great restaurants, and a climate that is remarkable even by California's standards thanks to its plentiful sunshine (300 days of the year) and year-round moderate temperatures (June highs average 82 degrees and lows average 55).

Getting From the Airports to the Show
San Jose Airport 10 minutes to IRCE Convention Center By:

There are two major airports serving San Jose. The city's rapidly expanding Mineta International Airport is a 10-minute trip to downtown San Jose either by car or by the modern Light Rail System. This airport now handles nearly 200 flights a day and is increasingly preferred by Silicon Valley-bound travelers. However, if direct air service to San Jose is not available from your city, the San Francisco International Airport is just 35 miles north of San Jose along US Highway 101, a 40-minute trip by rental car, taxi or the IRCE 2007 shuttle bus, which will provide all attendees of IRCE 2007 with free hourly shuttle bus service (please see schedule) to and from San Francisco International Airport.
