WLAN in large conferences certainly is a challenge. You basically want
to get as many people on 5GHz as possible due to more available
channels. 2.4GHz becomes quite noisy.

And here you raise an interesting question: do dual band wifi clients *show 
which band a network is on*?  Will they prefer the A band AP automatically 
in any way?
