We have been using Unifi (a Ubiquiti WIFI product) for local conventions and festivals. The product is fairly cheap, robust, and their access points have very good range. We have deployed it at several commercial businesses as well with great success. The deployment is very easy. We run the controller on a VM at our NOC, but you can also run it locally at the event as well. Besides this, we have a fairly beefy box that handles DNS and DHCP and basic firewalling.

My best friend just got back from Chicon 7 last week, this year's World Science Fiction Convention. He tells me that the networking at the con hotel, the Chicago Hyatt, was miserable, whether wired or wireless... and that Sprint 4G wasn't much better.
I'm talking to the people who will probably be, in 2015, running the first Worldcon I can practically drive to, in Orlando, at -- I think -- the Disney World Resort. I've told them how critical the issue is for this market;

I know without a doubt that this is a problem NANOG PCs deal with 3 times a year; is there any collected wisdom on the web already about how this has been dealt with, that I can pore over? Pointers to good archive threads?
If not, do any of the people who've already done have 5 minutes to chime in on what they did and what they learned?
