Maybe, but I'd be late and I'd need
transportation if it's more than a
short hike from the conference hotel.

I'm interested... I suppose I should drop by the hotel first.
If you made a hotel run around 8:40, you could pick me up
and perhaps Bil and others.
Eyeballing the map, the airport is about 4 miles from the hotel,
so I'm guessing they run a shuttle.
Party seems to be 5 miles from hotel or 7 miles from airport.
I'm reachable at: two to the ninth, Alfonso II crowned king of
Asturias, Sealab cartoon minus one.
Cheers,
Hal

That doesn't seem quite right to me...
El Cajon is probably more than 5 miles from UTC (which is where Nobel
Drive is located). You're looking at a 15 to 30 minute drive (time of
day makes a big difference). It's probably about the same if you come
up directly from the airport.

What a brilliant obfuscation technique :-). You'll probably hear from
me just because of that. I'll buy you a beverage of your choice this
weekend.

I called the Lafayette, They said they have contracts with Cloud 9 and
Express Shuttle for service to the hotel. The drive will need to come
in to the desk and get a voucher for payment.

These are the two main door-to-door shuttle companies (I see) in San
Diego. You can call them to schedule rides, but it generally seems
unnecessary - I've never done it.
Instead, you can just walk out to the transportation Island thingy. In
Terminal One, which is predominantly Southwest Airlines (maybe a few
others), that means using the skybridge to cross the street, and then
turn back toward the airport (re-crossing the street half-way). In
Terminal Two (most airlines OTHER than Southwest), you can just walk out
on ground level to the islands.
Usually there's an attendant there - just tell them where you're going
and what company you'd like to use. They radio some magic guy who makes
your shuttle appear.
Good luck!

Anyone know about public transportation for those who... love... public

Is there a bus that'll run from airport to Lafayette?

I've not used it much. We have a light rail "trolley" that can get you
around downtown, Old Town, and over to "The Q" (Qualcomm Stadium).
There's a commuter train that runs up and down the coast, called
"Coaster", but that won't do you much good getting to El Cajon (which is
East of Balboa Park & Downtown).
My guess is that the Airport <--> El Cajon trip will involve a bus ride.
Personally, I'd stick with the Cloud 9 or Express shuttle (if the hotel
really does pay for it).
Anyway, you might try your luck at this:
