While early registration has been closed since last month, the number of registrants has been climbing as we've finalized some registrations that needed extra effort to process. This morning I received the final count for early registration: 1,287.
Our initial total registration estimate was 2,000. The global economic crisis is the prime culprit at reducing our estimated attendance to 1,500-1,600. I've heard from many people in the US and abroad who said that normally they would not have had any trouble coming to the ICS, except for the current economic situation. Nonetheless, this still be a huge event with people coming from 52 countries.
