Factual correction here -- not really. Generally speaking, we've had about as many walk-ins as no-shows, so it evens out. The badges are wasted, but in the grand scheme of cost, that's not that big of a deal. 

I wonder with the focus on doing this year if the walk-in numbers will be similar.  Most walk-ins aren't there to do.  They are there to learn.

The location might help pull in walk-ins that can work on things from the local offices, but other than that I would expect fewer this year.
