the speakers and content may be great, but i gotta say -- when there's no wireless access, i spend a helluva lot of time trying to get a connection. not only does this limit access to emails i might need to respond to from work, it also limits my ability to blog about stuff at the conference itself. (and i'm sorry, i'm just not willing to detach completely while i'm at a tech conference)
mike/chris: i know it's tough with many geeks & publishers here, but if you're running a technical event on blogging & social media, the wireless & internet connectivity really *has* to work... at least at some level of minimal functionality. right now, it doesn't -- and that's quite frustrating.
