It depends on the tutorial. Some are hands on, some are lecture style. You
might try contacting the presenters directly and asking them how they plan
to teach the tutorial. I will note to myself that next year the
descriptions should include "need a notebook" or "notebook optional" right
on the website.

The WTP tutorial, "12 Introduction to the Web Tools Platform", will have
hands-on demos that will require a machine. Hopefully someone else
attending the tutorial will be willing to share their machine if you don't
have one (but I can't gaurantee this).
