Computers that do not meet the minimum security requirements will have their Internet connection disabled without prior notice.

Please perform the following steps before your conference date to setup the Internet connections for your guests:

Notify Conference Services at least 3 weeks in advance if your guests require Internet access from their sleeping rooms. Your Conference Coordinator will ask you to create a login username and password for their In-Room Connection registration.
