INTERNET ACCESS

Since the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign played a very important role in the creation of the internet as we know it today, it is only fitting that we let you know how you might access the internet once you are on campus.

Free wireless internet access will be available for conference attendees with wireless-enabled laptops. Wireless access is controlled by a unique login and password distributed by the University, which will be assigned to you at check-in. Access is available in certain spots on campus, including in the Illini Union and the Chemistry Annex Building. Click here for more information on wireless access on campus, including VPN software needed for access (detailed directions will be given at the conference).

Walk-up internet access will be available for conference attendees with a laptop with an ethernet adaptor card. Access is also controlled by a unique login and password distributed by the University, which will be assigned to you at registration. Click here for more information on walk-up internet access on campus. No special configuration or software is needed.

For those of you without laptops, there may be limited access to internet-connected computers while on campus. Student computer labs are not open to the public and use a different login/password system than the ones we'll be assigning for wireless access. More information about wired computer access on campus will come as we get closer to the conference.
