Ram had summarized a lec-dem a he attended in his blog sometime in February that intrigued me a lot.

(http://ramsabode.wordpress.com/) - by the way, thank you Ram! for educating the philistines (like me) through your very well written commentaries. I miss your reviews!

Here is another write on the topic, elaborating very similar ideas:

It is a not-for-profit venture. Also, lecdems do not neccessarily command full-house attendances. I remmeber attending one a decade ago where the total number of attendees including the presenters was 15 in a hall that could accommodate at least a 100.
