Once turning into Technology Park, park in either the top lot (to the left as you drive in) or in the bottom lot (drive down, you will see the lot to your left). The conference room is on the lower level of Tech Park. If you park up top, make sure to walk down the stairs as you enter. In the conference room, there will be a stack of parking permits that you can place in your windshield to ensure you won’t receive a parking ticket.
