Here at Ryerson we don't have any guess access but are currenlty looking into something cheap and easy.
We currebtly do mac based vlans and if your mac is not registered you fall into a dead vlan that goes no where. I'm looking at adding a guest SSID on a vlan with no routing and then putting a NoCat Auth box which will give out DHCP, NAT, and also force users to login via captive portal. There would be a guest account with a password which would change from event to event.
