Please note that internet access cannot be provided at the conference this year.  You will need to rely on your own data plan and the coverage provided by your carrier (e.g. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc.) for any internet access during the conference.  For most people, this means that your smart phone may be able to access the internet but your computer would not.  For tablets, it would depend whether you are paying for a data plan for the device.
