the list was updated Oct 2, 2009, and is accurate, FWIW. There are many
old meetings listed there.

Infocom had over 600 attendees, and 282 papers. Each of 4 workshops had
around 14 papers, so add another 60 or so for that, another 70 for the
posters, and 100 for the mini workshop. That's 512, so assuming nobody
doubled up on anything, yes, the majority *could* have been authors.

Globecom got 1200 attendees, but had only around 350 papers. There were
11 workshops, there were max 35 or so per workshops (incl. posters).
Note that most workshops didn't have posters, so had about half that
many 'authors'. Even as an upper bound that still runs 735 authors out
of 1200 attendees.
