- At least one email here claimed that volunteers broke their backs
running the conference, which seems to overlook that a high proportion
of registered attendees were employees and probably did most of the
preparation. I asked this question last year about another conference,
it was never answered properly, as it was never measured. Again, this
ought to be *a good thing* to report on, as our values are to keep the
volunteer at the centre of everything we do and driving our movement
rather than paying Executives six-figure sums to tell us what we
should believe in.
This feels like a strange question to ask. Aren't you asking specifically
who the conference organizers were and how many of them were volunteers? I
think <https://wikiconferenceusa.org/wiki/Organizing_Team> answers this
question.

(for the record, i attended the conference as a volunteer and 100% paid for
myself ... no scholarship, nothing, and think that's the case for most
attendees)
