Talk to your legal people. Choices can range from having a completely open SSID (do you accept the risk that anyone can do anything, even if they are not part of the group) to creating individual temporary accounts which are one-to-one assigned to users, and their name recorded.

We have a situation where we need to set up temporary wireless access for 140 guests. This access will be limited to Internet only. If it were just one or two people, we would simply create a network account for them. For obvious reasons, we don't want to do that for such a large number of temporary users. Has anyone faced a similar issue and come up with a workable solution? I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.
