The General Admission number is surprisingly large. I expected it to be mostly students.

Forgot two numbers:
Participants traveled from 5 US states (California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin)
Participants traveled from 2 countries (Canada, US)
…this is according to the survey. If you didn’t take the survey and traveled from a different state or country for InfoCamp, let us know!
