I am starting work on the DEF CON 14 FAQ. If there are any specific questions you want answered, please ask here and I will try to include them.

I've linked to your thread from here. If there is anything you can use from there, please take anything. When the official FAQ is made, I'll remove duplicate content from mine, and/or unstick it so there is no confusion.

Common questions asked that don't have posted answers AFAIK:
* Will there be a DCTV, or in-room broadcast of presentations and CTF like the AP?
* Does the hotel have High Speed Internet? :: Rooms have phones with "DataPorts" (Partial Answer)
* will we have acccess to the sky boxes? if so I would like to reserve one now

Will we have 24 access to some/all of the con space?

Are rooms going to be assigned in a group? (i.e. One tower reserved for con-goers, civilians get the rest)

Are we going to have any fun comments from the fire marshall?

More as I think of them

[converge]

Are Canadians still allowed to attend Defcon???

Some questions I have heard in passing:
Will the conference attendees be limited to specific floors during the conference?
Will attendees be required to stay on specific floors if staying at the Riviera?
How does the badge requirement fit into the layout of the conference this year?

Questions so far..

OK, I'll compile some of these questions up and include 'em. Some will require research with the hotel folks..

Just thought of this one too.. in case it got missed in the threads: Paying to park

The thread said "A block of rooms was set aside". Exactly how many is this?
2 floors? 3 floors? One whole tower? I asked the hotel, and thier reply was "our policy is that, that information cannot be given"

Concerns being other families mixed in with con-goers and noise level / parties on floors of the hotel. Also how fast the hotel is going to fill up.

Also, the AP had lectures seperated into rooms far apart from each other, some in seperate buildings, if this convention space is 1 large room
devided up with false walls, how is the noise level going to work? Has anyone taken in account noise polution from lectures going on in the
next room over? I dont know how much noise those false walls will cut.

Also how will lines before the lectures work?.. if the rooms are side by side it could cause some confusion and congestion.

Just some things to think about if it hasnt been done already.

.... if this convention space is 1 large room

I assure you after having been to The Riv and seeing these walls that that should not be an issue. the walls are THICK.
