Concerns According to DOE, conference attendance numbers will not change within the next decade Compared to NA-PAC’11 held in 2011 New York City u879 attendees with 82% NA, 14% Europe, 4% Asia and SA – percentages about the same. No government restrictions, so ~720 NA attendees compared to ~405 for NA-PAC’13. uIPAC’13 in Shanghai and IPAC’14 in Dresden (poor NA attendance) ~ 5 months before Initial NA-PAC’13 budget was reduced to ~700 from previous almost 900 at NA-PAC’11. Two months prior to the conference reduced budget to ~400 attendees.
