It was a good conference and great to connect with new people and old friends. But booth hours were long, open during keynotes, and the Keynote live feed kept crashing so watching from the booth was not only frustrating, but sometimes impossible.

To be honest, there was far too much going on in the vendor hall to be static/sitting in the keynotes so I left the keynotes early. Call it FOMO, call it anxiety, call it overly stimulated. But, the last thing it was is healthy.

I definitely see your point - I guess that's why the vendor hall was open 3 loooooong days - to give attendees time to go to sessions AND to learn from vendors. Good for attendees. But, vendors that are attending and learning - not so good. I'll be watching the video replays

But also - my job was to live tweet. Being a vendor and live tweeting the keynotes - nearly impossible (mostly due to the weak wifi and inability to consistently stream the keynotes)

It's almost like conference WiFi is like an unreliable thing.

But - it doesn't have to be! It just costs more money and a lot more planning to ensure that amount of bandwidth.

Normally I wouldn't do this but, as a former network engineer I feel compelled to "well actually" here. Good mesh WiFi is really hard and involves way more science than even I thought when I first heard about it. My apologies.

VERY TRUE! Sorry - I didn't mean to imply it is 'easy' to provide sustained bandwidth to the number of devices that were trying to use it. The conferences I've been to that successfully do this - they plan. A lot!

Definitely something I don't think enough event organizers understand for sure.
