Historical Data
27
Summary of Finances(not including loans or AdCom
activities)
28
History of RAWCON Finances(not including loans)
29
Income Projected vs. Actual

• Item 10 includes MTT-S Ad-Com activity refunds

30
Income from technical activities

• Cancellation fee (50 after deadline) instated
  during RAWCON 2004
• Registration to conference activities (e.g.
  workshops, social activities) was not subject to
  full conference registration
• Attendance numbers should be considered in light
  of this conference policy

31
Expenses Projected vs. Actual

• Item 17 includes expenses related to MTT-S
  Ad-Com activities

32
Analysis

• Income
• Too many reduced rate categories
• Too few onsite registrants
• Overall fees were too low
• Too few exhibitors
• Expense
• Higher than expected FB at the Omni
• Guaranteed minimum orders too high
• Problems with control, access
• Higher than budgeted publications
• Expected due to expanded program and addition of
  CD-ROM
• Administration
• Unexpected costs for security at CNN Center

33
Summary

• RAWCON 2004 a big success from attendee point of
  view
• Financial disappointment, but not a disaster
• Might dissuade ComSoc from participating
  financially in 2006
• Hopefully technical program provided momentum for
  RWS 2006!

34
IMOC 2005

• July 25-28th , 2005
