There will be WiFi access via Eduroam at all venue sites. Probably one of the computer accounts
that you can use at your workplace already provides for Eduroam access.
Please ask your local system administrators for help with setting up
Eduroam on your computer, as the configuration parameters depend
on your home institution.
- In case you are lacking Eduroam access, you will find a temporary account
that can be used for unencrypted WiFi on the back side of your
conference badge.
