Delegates at National Conventions

Logistics.... well, DC has a HUGE convention center they will be using. There are host hotels all over the place. They were stuffing convention bags this week and invited lots of people to volunteer. I've never planned a convention, so I really don't know what all goes into it or how the AKAs are planning theirs. It will most likely be better than the Alpha Centennial, which many of us were disappointed in.

20,000 attendees expected?? I knew it would be big, but damn.

ETA: I guess I should have answered the question at hand. Our conference will be in Norman, OK (University of Oklahoma) this summer. This conference is geared more toward officers, so attendance will be lower than usual. Our conferences generally bring several hundred brothers, plus 100-or-so members of the sororities we're cool with.

Our Convention is next year in Tampa. I just got home from our Leadership Institute in Nashville and we had over 600 women attend.

One delegate is chosen from each Kappa Sig chapter, but there are many more brothers, pledges and alumni who end up going. I think around 1000 went to the Las Vegas convention (we call it the Grand Conclave), but I don't know the numbers for the last couple.
