Brooks, give us the play-by-play on the conference!
Sometimes people snicker at the phrase “occasional connectivity”, but even where many gather at a tech event this still seems the norm…..
The policy this year is to intentionally provide no wireless in the seminar rooms, under the same theory as forbidding mobile phones: stop blogging for a while and listen to the speaker! :-) But that wasn’t made clear so people think it’s broken. Maybe it’s unrealistic to expect people to detach from the virtual umbilicus; I suspect feedback will motivate us to supply it at the next event.
i’ve never understood why anyone would need wireless internet access while listening to a speaker… multitasking addicts detract from the experience
