Wireless Toronto: workshop

Description

Wireless Toronto volunteers have spent over 10 years setting up and maintaining a network of wifi hotspots -- and building and maintaining relationships with small business owners and public venue managers.

While the technical side of setting up wireless networks is well-documented, the social/promotion/"sales" side is less so. In this workshop, we'll share what we've learned about developing and maintaining venue relationships.
