From my past experience, the Exhibit Area would have been the #1 responsibility of Shawn Bruce, PTG's Marketing Manager. With the chain of command ascending through Sandy Roady (among whose hats is Convention Manager), on up to Barbara Cassaday (Executive Director). All of whom are Very Hardworking Individuals. I wasn't there, though, so was not witness to how cavernous the space may or may not have been. Sometimes once you go beyond Space Plan A and want to negotiate for further space you have to pay for all of Space B, and the "jam packed" area suddenly gets very spread out. I think class scheduling is the responsibility of the Institute Committee, all fellow technicians volunteering vast quantities of their time. Back when as an everyday convention registrant I would offer on-the-spot suggestions for improvement to then co-chairs of the Institute Committee (Allan Gilreath and Dale Probst) they would suggest that since I seemed to know *so much* about "how to do it" that I should join their committee ASAP! I declined the invite; during the years when I served an RVP, with about a month a year away from home, and a considerable amount of time at home with phone calls, e-mail, and paperwork, it became clear to me that the Institute Committee was probably putting in much more time than I was! After a bit of rest, I'm sure they'll be happy to hear how they can make the next Institute better than earlier ones. And they're always eager for more help!
