WiFi Areas Expanded at RSNA 2004

More wireless access points will be available at McCormick Place during RSNA 2004. These areas will be clearly marked with signs, as well highlighted in detailed floor maps in the Meeting Guide section of the Daily Bulletin.

The wireless access points use the 802.11b protocol, known as WiFi. The four WiFi hotspots will be located in:

Grand Concourse
Lakeside Center, Grand Ballroom
Lakeside Center, near Arie Crown Theater
Lakeside Center, at the far end of the infoRAD exhibit area (north end of Hall D2)

RSNA will also provide banks of computer terminals throughout McCormick Place so that attendees have access to online meeting information. Most of this information will be available before, during at after the meeting at rsna2004.rsna.org.

Some of the features include:

Message Center

This is an e-mail facility for communicating with colleagues, exhibitors and others at McCormick Place. Attendees can log in using their badge number. Users outside McCormick Place will be able to send Internet e-mail to attendees by their badge number followed by @showmail.org. Attendees can assign themselves a password to increase the privacy of messages sent through the Message Center.

Attendees who know the name of their remote POP3 or IMAP mail service will be able to add a temporary account for remote access to their e-mail.

Attendee Locator

This utility is a quick and easy way to find friends and colleagues who are attending RSNA 2004 and the hotels where they are staying.

Virtual Briefcase

The Virtual Briefcase is a personal itinerary planner with which attendees can maintain a list of technical exhibitors (My Exhibits), access a personalized floor plan (My Floor Plan) and create a schedule of sessions selected from the RSNA Meeting Program.

Certificate of Attendance

Attendees can use designated computer terminals at McCormick Place to print a personalized certificate of attendance.
