more theory

Every SF convention of more than 4200 people ever has been at least a 4-day con. We have no data to say, but I suspect that it's simply impossible to run a 5000-person 3-day event. It just won't fit.

Oh yeah, I was wondering-- What's the headcount at Arisia?

This year, just under 2500.

There are several numbers coming out of the reg system but I think the one that's most comparable to previous years' reporting is 2412.
