Beware Flash Conference Organizers

Posted by Brooks in Flash on Mar 1st, 2006 | 4 comments

So, one of the funnier things at FlashForward 06 is how pissy conference attendees get when wireless access is not readily available or reliable. There are things we’ll tolerate, and then there are things we won’t….

    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
