Preparing to host a conference

If hosting a conference, the single worst thing that I believe you can do is not be prepared for your guests technological needs. So far, this year, I have attended two conferences at the Sharaton in Clive and at both conferences the amount of wireless networks needed have not been enough to handle the amount of participants. This creates a very frustrating environment for the guests, leading to a true "disconnect" (pun intended) from the content being presented. Multi-tasking is no longer an option for some, but a requirement to truly engage the tech-savvy learner. My suggestion to you, if you are going to host, is to place the infrastructure of your network at the forefront of your planning sessions.
