Whether or not the wireless stuff works 20 floors up depends on:

    - Is there an access point in a window at conference floor level?
    - Is there a building across the street off which the signal can 
      bounce?
    - Are you on the same side of the building as the access point?

The best upper-floor access in my memory was Memphis IETF at the
Peabody: access points close to multiple windows, lots of buildings
around for signal reflection, and not much metal in the walls. I had
plenty of signal in a room near the top of the Holiday Inn across the
street.
