Budget Comments Less exhibitors & sponsors than expected More early registrations than expected (> 250) Under-estimation of various expenses ( imported editors, computing & networking, security, audiovisual) Currency ratio changed (1$ = 3.5 NIS 1$ = 4 NIS) Local VAT changed (16% 17%) Over-attendance of opening reception (double of estimation ) Supported 35 students (w.r.t to standard ~20) Was possible due to a 42k$ contribution from LINAC10 IAEC provided a balancing network to the conference Overall balance = 0 9

From the Editor s Table The LINAC 12 editorial team Mick Draper (Editor in Chief) CERN John Poole ex CERN (v. experienced editor and SPMS expert) Leif Liljeby Stockholm Univ. (v. experienced editor) Christian Carli CERN Sergiu Lupu (from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) new to SPMS Tamar Goldin (Ortra) interface to public, some SPMS too. Mick: Editing effort for this conference was just about right Breaking News LINAC12 Proceedings are online in the JACOW website! 17 http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/accelconf/linac2012/index.htm ISBN: 978-3-95450-135-9
New session numbering concept Posters of students that were presented in the Student Poster Session received the numbering SUPBXXX (in addition to their standard poster session numbering) Posters that were granted a 5-minute oral presentation received the numbering YYPLBXXX (in addition to their standard poster session numbering) In Conference Guide and Online Proceedings, abstracts of above posters appear twice, both in special and regular session... A headache for the Editors but better service to the delegates (we hope) As part of above change, opted for a A4 Conference Guide with all abstracts, including posters 18
