Update: Wi-Fi in Meeting Rooms Will Be Available

FYI
Contrary to my previous understanding, Wi-Fi will be available in the Sheraton Centre Toronto meeting rooms for CEAL 2017. I confirmed this today with the AV provider for the Sheraton. Also the AAS information sheet, "Know Before You Go" says:

We will provide complimentary Wi-Fi in all meeting rooms and common spaces in the Sheraton. Use the code AAS2017 to connect. Additionally, all attendees staying at the Sheraton or the Hilton will also receive complimentary internet in hotel rooms.

Regards,
Rob
