Choose "Conference Center" in the left menu, then click on the "click here" link in the 4th paragraph of the description of the Center.  The map displayed actually shows the location of the East Bay Community Foundation main office, which is quite close to the Conference Center itself.  Locate Frank Ogawa Plaza on the map.  The Conference Center will be on your left as you walk toward San Pablo from the corner of Broadway and 14th. 

From the Oakland City Center Marriott (5 min. walk):

Note:  There will be an easel out on the Plaza marking the spot.  (If all other landmarks fail, there is a Vietnamese restaurant directly across the plaza from the Conference Center.)
