Big or small, all anime conventions involve a huge volunteer effort to acquire a host hotel and convention center, allocate rooms, schedule panels, get dealers, get Guests of Honor, get sponsors, get technical equipment, do practice runs, get the word out on the upcoming convention for the locals and on the web, and most especially stay clear and focused on driving the fan spirit to an ultimate high for the weekend!  Whew!  So much work and Sakura Con 2002 showed tremendous success with its attendance numbers: 2,179 at Saturday closing, far above last year's of 1,519, bringing in a total of over 2,300 at the weekend's closing.
