In addition, the entire Pittsburgh Filmmakers building has wi-fi (though some areas are spotty).
Presenters, please indicate in your session listings any and all prerequisites. Suggested tags:

Please also indicate in the session title if it's narrowly targeted, for example, Video Blogging with Final Cut Pro.
Yes, this can be confusing, but it IS do-able -- and yes, by you.
* First, find the time slot you want to present in.
* Then look at the sessions NEAR the spot you're getting ready to fill.
