I thought I'd ask about the technical resources available for presentations and the conference in general:
1. Will WiFi be available throughout the venue?
2. I assume that projectors/screens will exist to which presenters can connect laptops. Or is there another arrangement?
3. Are there any specific IRC channels or other "backchannel" forums suggested for informal communications?
Thanks... Kurt :-)
Not on the organizing committee, but the Wikimania site says there will be wifi and I'm guessing the #wikimania channel will be helpful on freenode.

Yes. Wifi is available throughout, and we're working on "beefing it up" so everybody has coverage everywhere in the Philharmonic.

Every assigned room will have a projector with standard VGA and RCA connections.

#wikimania on irc.freenode.net is the official channel, and I'm sure more topical ones will branch off as they usually do.
