[comp.sys.apple] AppleFest Attendance Figures

mdavis@pro-sol.cts.COM (Morgan Davis) (06/15/88)

This message will be of interest to anyone thinking about attending the next
AppleFest in San Fransisco, as an attendee or vendor.  Here is a letter I got
from AppleFest Conference Director Andrew Calkins which discloses the
attendance figures for the last AppleFest in May.

May 27, 1988

Dear AppleFest Speaker:

The final figures are in, and they are impressive.  AppleFest/Boston drew
more than 21,000 paying attendees and a turnstile count of more than 30,000
over the course of its three days.  That makes it without a doubt the single
largest Apple home/school/home-business event ever.

More importantly, the conference was an artistic and educational success,
too, judging by the conference review forms we've received.  And that, of
course, is entirely due to your efforts.

Seldom, if ever, have I worked with such a dedicated group group of speakers.
You came prepared, you spoke well, and you handled the various equipment and
building-related problems with grace and professionalism.  On behalf of
Cambridge Marketing, AppleFest, and all of our attendees at the show... thank
you.

I look forward to seeing you (and working with you) at future AppleFests --
perhaps as soon as this September 16-18 in San Fransisco.

Again our thanks, and be well.

Sincerely,

Andrew Calkins
Conference Director
