eduroam directly operates the authentication infrastructure for network admission; it does not provide operators on-site with WiFi Wi-Fi or other networking equipment. So, in order to provide eduroam at your conference or event, you need to have your own equipment with an appropriate feature set for your deployment needs. In generic terms, the WiFi Wi-Fi equipment for your event or conference needs to support the following standard for use with eduroam:

...

If your event is taking place always in the same country, you should contact the eduroam National Roaming Operator (NRO) for your country to negotiate the RADIUS uplink for your WiFi Wi-Fi equipment. You can get in touch with the responsible NRO by dropping the eduroam Operations team eduroam-ot (att) lists.geant.org an email make sure that you mention that you are seeking a temporary connection as Broadband Service Provider only.

...

If all eduroam users are to be put into the same VLAN, it is not usually necessary to set up and operate a RADIUS server at the conference side. Instead, eduroam Operations operates RADIUS servers for that purpose. Once you have negotiated the uplink details as detailed above, you can configure these in your WiFi Wi-Fi equipment and are all set. Be sure to disable dynamic VLAN assignments in that case; the eduroam infrastructure cannot guarantee that a participating institution doesn't inappropriately send RADIUS attributes for VLAN assignment.
