Note

 Attendees are asked to bring their own laptops and to register a user account on Wikipedia in    advance. This is a quick procedure that does not need any detailed personal information; although it is advisable to give an email address, to enable the retrieval of forgotten passwords!

The number of new logins from a single IP address is limited. LoopZilla (talk) 16:22, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Which is precisely why we ask them to register accounts in advance. But you only need an admin on-hand (I might be available, in which case I'll go down in case I need to override it), or if you know the IP address in advance, you can ask the devs to lift the limit for the day—see m:Mass_account_creation#Requesting_temporary_lift_of_IP_cap.
