This as we all know is critical. Time and time again I have been to events
where IP allocation was not well planned in advance. At the MeeGo event in
Dublin this was especially an issue because the hosts did not understand
"geek" needs.
So at a *minimum*, 2 IP addresses per attendee (typically phone +
laptop/tablet). I would also add a percentage of overhead, say 15%, on top
of that. It's not like the cost goes up significantly per address
allocated. ;)
Repeaters are also important if the venue is spread out or "cut up", ie, a
lot of surfaces for wifi to get lost around.

Also a well-identified charging station with good security. Some Nokia
events have lock boxes similar to those at a post office. Maybe even
loaner phones for those needing a charge? (important for sealed battery
devices like the N9 if attendee only brings one)

Definitely expect the need for breakout sessions. People will get ideas
from a talk and want to discuss with other attendees while the thoughts are
still hot. Who knows what could be created if the event fosters that! I
saw a great deal of that energy turned quickly into onsite development at
Maemo Summit and it really galvanized the community.
