We had lots of participation at all levels, and lots of (unexpected) people at all of our meals. The free transportation was well received. Students were very engaged in the competitions --- we had over 50 teams in the hardware competition and had 15 teams in the software contest. The exhibitors were pleased with the traffic. The attendees commented that they enjoyed the short 50-minute tutorials provided. SoutheastCon attendance was: 868 (with only a few no-shows, perhaps 25) Region 3: 90 Students: 410 Prof Development Seminar: 36 Technical Program and tutorials: 158 Vendors and tutorial speakers: 87 Guests and spouses: 36 Volunteers: 51 The hotel staff loved us and would like to host this event again. The final hotel room pick up was: 579. Wed: 10 Thurs: 129 Fri: 229 Sat: 206 Sun: 5 All major accounts payable and accounts receivable have been processed, with the exception of one donation and one major publication expense. We planned to break even on this conference, but we may actually make a profit. Jim ---------------------------------------------- James M.
