Note regarding these attendance figures: many professional conventions and trade shows list their attendance as "bodies per day," so a person with a 4-day membership is counted four times toward the final total. Science fiction conventions traditionally count each membership as one attendee, so whether a person attends one day or all four days, he/she is counted just once toward the total.
