2G/4G/Options - San Francisco...

I'm not sure how this can work, just get your people Hilton memberships. All Hilton Honors members get free wifi. So just by being there, they have to have access. If I just showed up randomly to the Hilton San Fran, I'd have WiFi access.

Checked with Sales. They have this package, but they say the hotels are huge and the WiFi doesn't always stretch to the conference center. Also, as the conference is busy, the WiFi is saturated and slow. Which is not good for demonstrations. Looks like the quote is for use of an actual physical wall socket via cat5/e/6/whatever... even then, 4k sounds like a lot to me.

4K is not that high for a conference feature.

I'm really considering getting a 2012R2 license, creating a VM, and running from the laptop. Least it costs way less.

Way more reliable, too. And can be used over and over again

This looks to be my preferred option. Just waiting on our developers to confirm if they would be ok with only 16GB of RAM on the laptop, a 'light' version of the site just for demonstration purposes.
Our main site cant be put straight on the laptop for remote offline demo's as it uses 100's of GB of RAM; but just for demo purposes I hope they can create a light version. Lets see

Ok, so i'm going with a VM. Development will cut the databases loaded in to memory down to 12/13GB, but for demo purposes, its fine.
Thanks folks,

I suspect that that will be far better. San Francisco is famous for poor connectivity as well.

The whole of carpet sounds weird - typically what I've seen is carpet in the walkways.. if you want it in the booth, you pay for that.
Unions are one of the things killing pricing. Of course you can't blame them for the internet fees - that's just them holding you hostage because they can.
While the convention center at Denver Comic Con does provide WiFi, it's so saturated that it's useless. Hell, during Dragon Con, even outside on the street it's nearly impossible to make a phone call or a SMS message with the 90K people in a 4 block area. I'm guessing the phone companies could fix this (how else do you service football stadiums with 140K people?)
