Not that organizers are predicting a dull evening.

The Salt Lake organizers had predicted the rights would yield $400 million.

But the impact of the rally was diminished by the fact that it attracted far fewer people than its organizers had predicted.

Only 35,000 people took part, according to the United States Park Police; the organizers had predicted more than 100,000.

Before the conference began, its organizers predicted it would be attended by 10,000 evangelists from 190 nations and territories.

The organizers originally predicted only 20,000 demonstrators would participate.

Its organizers, a coalition of labor and liberal advocacy groups, had predicted that 100,000 people would participate.

But the demonstrations were far smaller than their Muslim organizers had predicted.

Turnout for the rally on a cold and overcast day was far below the 500,000 people that organizers had predicted.

And the convention's organizers are gamely predicting that this will be a year of transformation for the trade show.
