Decide what they are and be creative about how you illustrate them.

Internet access
Yes there will. Free access will be available with an access code provided at the registration desk in your name tag You will need to ensure that the laptop you bring is wireless enabled and that you have rights to make use of it.
 * //Will there be internet access at the event?//**

Accommodation

Program
Yes frustrating isn't it. Who would think that a published Google Doc would be a risk. The Program IS there and accessible outside the firewall. To compensate I've put an exported Excel spreadsheet file up on the wiki. It may not be 100% current but I'll update periodically.
 * //I can't get to the program - it's blocked!//**

In addition we have established an elearning08 twitter account. There will be a twitter booth set up in the foyer. The laptop there will be logged into the elearning08 account and you are free to use this to post comments. Again please use the tag #elearning08 with each comment.

A feed of the tag #elearning08 will be beamed onto one of our auditorium screens during the event.
