Please excuse the formatting errors (ugh!). This is my first attempt at blogging in a very long time.
What a great three days at WLPC. This was my first conference and I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was an incredible amount of information presented by a variety of knowledgeable people. I attended all the presentations and, almost unbelievably didn't even get a door prize, although more than 100 were given out.
So here's my top 10. It's not made up of any statistical matrix, it's just the presentations I liked the best. Let me know what you think on Twitter @CWNA_Instructor
Here they are:
10. Ronald van Kluenen Wi-Fi as part of Service Management System

9. Brennan Martin The
internet of Dirty and Dusty things
Great slides that really supported his story. I loved getting deep into Wi-FI with Brennan.

8. Mitch Dickey Single
Channel Architecture in the Real World
There’s just something inside me that loves it
when somebody sticks it to “the man.” Mitch made his point with great stats
that showed what we all didn’t want to see; SCA works. What the…?
1 7. Ferney Munoz English
as a Second Language & Wi-Fi
I’m glad that lawn mower shop gig didn’t
work out and we got Ferney! Very funny and poignant.
1. 6. GT Hill -
Dual-radio dual 5ghz
The dual- radio duel. It was funny and a little shocking when Devin
stood up and challenged GT, but Mr. Hill had done his research and presented an
excellent case against dual 5ghz radios. BTW: Did we ever get the results of that dual?
1 5. Brian
Long Wireless
Association & Authentication
How did he pack all that into 10 minutes?
Scripts baby! Great understanding of a
difficult subject. Brian walked us through the core elements of Wi-Fi security at layer
Even the Big Guy was impressed.

1 4. Darrell DeRosia Understanding
WLAN Capacity Limits
Darrell's casual and comfortable approach made it easy to follow along. This presentation taught me about the realities of throughput and actual speeds that our clients can expect on Wi-Fi networks. I loved his quote from management; "We have 100 APs that support 1.3 Gig each. What do you mean we can't get 130 Gig of throughput?"

1 3. Eldad Perahia High
Efficiency Wi-Fi 802.11ax
Eldad was the first presenter and I was thinking "OMG, I'm in way over my head!" But he did a great job of explaining a futuristic concept and explaining all the new aspects of 802.11ax and how the Task Force chose what to take on in incorporating new technologies into the upcoming 802.11 amendment.

1 2. Joel Crane MetaGeek Training Session
Joel really knows his IPA - or should I say Eye PA. The MetaGeek tools do a great job of displaying Wi-Fi data packets, and Joel did a great job of demonstrating the capabilities of those tools. Being a southerner it took me a minute to adjust to Joel's rapid-fire speech pattern. That's a nice way of saying 'That boy talks fast.' But once I caught on I became totally engaged.
1. Peter Mackenzie - The Magic of Analysis

1. Peter Mackenzie - The Magic of Analysis
How did he know it was the 6 of hearts? Pure magic, and so was the rest of his presentation. I loved all the
little vignettes of how analysis had solved problems in different
organizations. Peter’s like a W-Fi sleuth that delves into packet analysis to
catch the culprit. His natural way of explaining things made it very easy for even the most simple of minds (like mine) could follow along.
Finally, a big thank you to all the presenters. It takes courage to get up and present a topic. I applaud all that "went for it." Many thanks to "all y'all."
