I've had a chat with Arinex yesterday and confirmed that it won't be a 
problem to handle the volunteers.  I will collect a list of names a week 
or two before conference time and they'll be checked off and given a 
generic name tag to get them in the door.  I'm thinking of putting a 
cut-off date two weeks before the conference (6 Oct) for getting me a 
list of names.  Is that too early?
