All,

The show team paid a more in depth visit to the hotel last weekend to look at general facilities.

Below here is a small update for exhibitors;

Bedrooms:
there appear to be two basic layouts in the bedrooms and one would dictate speakers firing down the room, the other layout would be best with speakers firing across the room (both are the same size, around 17m²-18m² in the body of the room). The hotel cannot advise the room split so we will find out upon arrival!

Wifi:
the hotel has free wifi, no password, no landing page so simple to use.

Phone:
4G and 5G signals seem to be poor at the hotel so using standalone 4G/6G routers or using mobile phones as hotspots maybe problematic, success will entirely depend upon which network that you are on.

kind regards,
Paul

Thanks for the update, Paul. Fingers crossed that their wi-fi proves stable enough to cope with the number of exhibitors needing to access online services.

Hopefully so, I imagine it would have been a priority for the last Labour Party conference and visiting journalists.

At the end of the day as wam exhibitors having local sources as well is always a good plan; we tend to have 2 bags of vinyl and ~1Tb of local FLAC files. Although streamed music is a trivial network load really, IME any delays in a track starting are usually server side bottlenecks (I sometimes get this at home on a 100Mb connection).

In other news last Saturday they had a Young Farmers Ball at the hotel so their cellar stocks will have been fully tested :)

thanks for your support
kind regards,
Paul
