WiFi (limited availability)
We will have a limited guest wifi network available (at PanSIG 2025, May 16-18 at Kanda University of International Studies), but only up to 250 devices. This connection will only work in the presentation areas/classrooms. It will not work in the halls or other areas of campus. The network name and password will be posted in presentation classrooms during the conference.
To ensure that as many people as possible are able to use this, we ask that priority be given to presenters or overseas visitors without access to another network. We also ask that attendees limit the number of devices connected to one per person. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.
Presenters: As always, just to be on the safe side, if you are a presenter, it is recommended that you save a copy of your presentation on your device, complete with audio/video clips.

Can everyone use eduroam?
No. As it says in the Getting started section of eduroam.org, the first step after downloading the eduroam installer is to choose your institution from the list so that you can log on. So if your university is not on the list, you will not have access. If your university is on the list, you can access the network worldwide. You may need to contact your IT department for your log-in credentials.
