  3. Create a spreadsheet

    You can use Google Docs, Microsoft Excel or Open Office format.

    Create these headings in the new spreadsheet:

    - Country
    - First Name
    - Last Name
    - Email address
    - Company Name
    - Job Title
    - Address
    - Telephone
    - Fax

  4. Australia only

    Only collect information for Australia.

    Do not spend time collecting information for other countries.
  5. Enter the contact details for the attendees

    Now look at the attendee list pdf that you downloaded.

    For each of the attendees fill in the details on the spreadsheet.

    One row per attendee.
  6. Some information is missing?

    Fill in the columns as best you can. The most important information is

    - Country
    - First Name
    - Last Name
    - company
    - email
    - telephone
  7. More than two names?

    If there are more than two names. E.g.

    Barry John Smith

    Then

    - Barry - is the first name; and
    - John Smith - is the last name
  8. Which column for which country?

    For each page:

    - read the first column top to bottom
    - then the second column top to bottom
    - then move to the next page and start with the first column.

    For example. The Australian attendees start on "Page 1, second column" and continue until "Page 4, first column"
  9. How can I tell the company?

    Some attendees will have:

    Job title, department, company, address

    while others will not have the department field:

    Job title, company, address

    The company comes just before the address. You can combine the job title and department fields:

    Chief Engineer, System Planning, Electranet, PO BOX

    would become:

    - Job Title: Chief Engineer, System Planning
    - Company: Electranet
