I have been at other conference that have triple or more participants, and it has never been anything close to the issues we are having at this hotel. Slightly slower performance is expected. Completely not working is not.

In my historical knowledge of this: there are only so many venues that can have 500-650 people and fit.

Then the RFP for the meeting needs to be more specific with some basic SLAs that result in a smaller bill if not met.

I would think that the contract with the hotel for the conference would include the specific requirements for the network. Is that not the case?
underlying problems
o no hotel believe that we'll actually be significantly high use. they simply can not conceive of it. ietf, apricot, ... have seen this time and time again
o the hotel does not manage the network, so you have two comms hops to anyone who can do anything. and anyway, they are not going to provision more bandwidth
but the problems of which i spoke were the meeting network. which we do supposedly control.
