Lots of WiFi, but the coverage is spotty if you are not in right locations – the Internet Alleys. Part of the spotty coverage could be due to the size of the conference center. If you didn’t bring a laptop (which it looks like everyone brought at least one) there are many kiosks setup for use.
As I mentioned earlier, there is a lot of food laid out for everyone. Often I see the convention center workers having a snack.
The “Big Room” is huge. That is where we eat (or grab food and run) as well as where the Expo hall, labs, store, etc.
Of course we get a little bag of swag and paperwork. I must say I am VERY disappointed in the printed literature for the conference. Sure at the pre-conference tutorial they give you a handout, but it was only about a third of the slides. In the paperwork package they give you a guide that doesn’t list any of the breakout sessions. Very frustrating in my opinion. There is an insert in our badges that lists each break out session, but it lacks details, like even the speaker name, just the course name and location.
There has also been a lot of last minute moves and reschedules of courses. Usually there is just an empty room and you have to ask someone where it was moved to. At one point I went online, looked up the next course, walked straight there, and the course was moved.
