Preconferences
Ask people to download in advance Remind preconference leaders 2 weeks before the conference to send an email to registrants. (Email registrants 1 week in advance b/c time before travel is hectic, may be offline)
Food
If you do the preconferences in the main conference space (vs. in spread-out off-site spots), many people will expect breakfast or at least regular coffee/tea/soft-drink breaks throughout the day (so have them?)
Power
Bandwidth
- Expect higher bandwidth issues on pre-conferences if held in same venue.
- Find out exactly which ethernet ports in the venue are on the protected bandwidth dedication and be sure speakers are hooked to them.
- Make sure wireless access points are not plugged into ports that have protected bandwidth dedication.
- For preconferences, do downloads before coming - minimizes problems with bandwidth, and saves time at the preconference to work with the app
