Worth pointing out, again, that this is not about charges for in-room wifi, but rather for wifi in larger conference spaces in the hotel. Which can easily run into thousands of dollars for a weekend, so if an event wants to do, say, live streaming, they do their best to make it impossible for the event to bring its own hotspot and connection. |

"Marriott employees had used containment features of a Wi-Fi monitoring system at the Gaylord Opryland to prevent individuals from connecting to the Internet via their own personal Wi-Fi networks, while at the same time charging consumers, small businesses and exhibitors as much as $1,000 per device to access Marriott's Wi-Fi network."
In your room or in the conference center you should be able to use your own Wi-Fi without interference.
