The only time I went to convention it was as a non-voting delegate. Kappa does a very good job of having workshops for everyone, and all are expected to attend the business meeting portion, regardless of whether they can vote.
I had a blast.
As for numbers, I have no clue... 600-800?

Ditto for Chi Omega.
We always seem to have more than 1000 attendees. I know our largest gathering, to date, was 2004 in San Antonio with 1300+
Chi Omega has a Convention Director (volunteer) that plans the gathering along with a volunteer team, HQ staff and National Officers.

I agree. Between business meetings, workshops, educational presentations, meals and fun stuff (Blue Owl boutique, etc..) there was always something to do. I can't wait until I can get to another Convention.
I think they were expecting around 1,000 this year in Phoenix, but I can't say for sure.

Does anyone put a post-convention summary up on their websites? I really enjoy seeing what the other groups do and where they go, especially if AOII is going to the same location soon.

I put a summary of ours in our forum here.
At our closing business meeting, there is always a "summary" slideshow/powerpoint. Our Headquarters put it on YouTube this year.

ASA's pre-convention summary has a link on their home page. It's not complete, but it will give you an idea.

I just heard that over 1,200 are registered for our 2010 Convention later this month in Orlando.
Each collegiate chapter sends the chapter President and Personnel Advisor and this Convention, the chapter Treasurer and Financial Advisor will attend. There are also special workshops for the chapter Vice Presidents, so most chapters are also sending that officer. Alumnae Chapter delegates and House Corporation Presidents along with volunteer staff (like me!) will round out the official delegates. Also, there are usually around 50 spouses who register too!
