Budget – Income 8

9 Budget Comments  Less exhibitors & sponsors than expected  More early registrations than expected (> 250)  Under-estimation of various expenses (“imported” editors, computing & networking, security, audiovisual)  Currency ratio changed (1$ = 3.5 NIS  1$ = 4 NIS)  Local VAT changed (16%  17%)  Over-attendance of opening reception (double of estimation…)  Supported 35 students (w.r.t to standard ~20)…  … Was possible due to a 42k$ contribution from LINAC10  IAEC provided a “balancing network” to the conference…  … Overall balance = 0

Scientific Program Committee  First meeting, CERN, 19-20/1/2012, 28 members  “To select the best/appropriate recommended titles/abstracts/speakers from the given list in order to build an attractive program for LINAC12”  Second meeting, CERN, 29/5/12, 11 members  “To select the best/appropriate abstracts, from a given list, for short (5 min) oral presentation, in order to build an attractive program for LINAC12” 11

12 Topical balance of invited talks  LINAC04  Electron, Hadron, Other = 330, 360, 430 min  LINAC06  Electron, Hadron, Tech, Extreme = 350, 260, 270, 270 min  LINAC08  Electron, Proton/Ion, Tech, Extreme = 290, 440, 170, 200 min  LINAC10  Electron, Proton/Ion, Tech, Extreme = 260, 380, 300, 170 min  LINAC12 goal  Proportion reflects the recommendation list but not far from LINAC10  Electron, Proton/Ion, Tech, Extreme = 280, 350, 250, 220 min

13 30 minute vs. 20 minute talks  LINAC04  23x20 min + 22x30 min = 1120 minutes  LINAC06  23x20 min + 23x30 min = 1150 minutes  LINAC08  32x20 min + 17x30 min = 1150 minutes  LINAC10  30x20 min + 17x30 min = 1110 minutes  LINAC12  33x20 min + 16x30 min = 1140 minutes

New session numbering concept  Posters of students that were presented in the Student Poster Session received the numbering SUPBXXX (in addition to their standard poster session numbering)  Posters that were granted a 5-minute oral presentation received the numbering YYPLBXXX (in addition to their standard poster session numbering)  In Conference Guide and Online Proceedings, abstracts of above posters appear twice, both in special and regular session… ... A headache for the Editors but better service to the delegates (we hope)  As part of above change, opted for a A4 Conference Guide with all abstracts, including posters 18
