Phoenix Forum Unsecure Internet Access? - GoFuckYourself.com

The Phoenix Forum was terrific... best show I have ever been to, and I plan on going back for sure. Great people, the hotel staff is excellent and I got a lot of business done. The only thing I really think needs to be improved is the Hotel internet access. It seems crazy to me to have a webmaster conference with unsecured (no password needed) wireless internet access in the hotel. It barely worked... and when it did work, it was a huge target for hacks.

Next time I go I'll be sure to bring a secure 4G hotspot or something along those lines, but as a heartfelt attempt at constructive feedback (because frankly I'm not even sure where else to bring this up), it really is something that should be considered by the event planners moving forward. I know it was a topic of conversation among several attendees during the show and I figure I'd mention it just so it doesn't get overlooked.

Other than that, the show was absolutely flawless

I couldn't agree more. I couldn't even watch Dr. Who in the mornings...and Spotify? For get about it. There were many times I was trying to load GFY threads and only got:

That was the only frustration I had, as well. The Phoenix Forum is the best show, every year. I swear...
