This will be my first WES and I was looking for word from any vetrans on laptops--do a lot of people bring them along each day or is it just another thing to lug around for the day (I'm staying at a non-WES hotel so I guess I can throw it in the rental car for the day)? do they have open wifi access in the conference center?

Any other tips? I will be the only person from my company there so I may have to look for some folks from here to hang out with (even though I am not as active as I should be here).
