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.

Type: workshop
Length: 1 hour
Additional considerations: max participants 15, to enable effective discussion

Session Objectives

• To share Wireless Toronto's experience developing and maintaining venue relationships.
• It could be valuable to those working on community networking projects, to learn from the experience of others.
