Get your internet on at The Fairmont

Userful Internet Cafe Userful generously offered to host a free internet cafe here at PLA Spring Symposium. So, if you’re here at the conference, you can check your email, read the news, and post photos, you can do that in the Imperial Ballroom in the main Fairmont building. Kudos to PLA for continued support of internet access for conference attendees!

If you have a laptop here at the conference, you have a few options. Attendees staying in The Fairmont for the duration of the conference can sign up for a membership with The Fairmont President’s Club, which is free and can be completed on the website or at the hotel front desk. This will give you access to free wifi in the lobby, and free ethernet-based internet in the hotel rooms.

Alternately, there is a network named MetroFi-Free, which is the city-wide free wireless network. So far, my experience with the signal in the hotel is spotty, but since it’s citywide, you’ll be able to sack out just about anywhere with signal and access the internet.

Hurray free interwebs!
