It would be wise for NANOG to approach future venues and specifically discuss these things with the hotel IT departments in question ahead of time so that they have some remote chance of being prepared.
It is nearly never "the hotel's IT department", in any sizable property; they've generally farmed it out to someone who Does That, and they often haven't even any Bog Red Switches to push when things break.
