Geek Conference Network Woes

This is my third conference in March, and it's the third one with serious wi-fi issues. What's the deal? These are not quilting conferences. These are serious nerdfests, where the organizers are expecting lots of geeks with laptops sucking down bandwidth with abandon. If you don't have that bandwidth, you will have a bunch of very unhappy nerds on your hands.

If you're going to have a technology conference, please invest in good wi-fi, especially if people are paying to attend. Charge a little more, over-provide. Just please, get it right.
