solved with: "do not stay in the ietf hotel"
There's at least two big reasons for many participants to stay at the
conference hotels:
1. Employers often have preferred hotels for the given city that are
not the conference hotel but they also often have a rule that
employees can stay at a conference's chosen hotel. Staying at any
other hotel may mean staying far away.
2. IETF meetings are an 8AM to midnight kind of social/work
environment, with a lot of business transacted in hallways at odd
times and often by accident. Having to trudge off kills a lot of
opportunities for hallway meetings.
