I'd say there was about 25 - 30 people there. I did a head count early on and there was 22 people there but I know some people came in late, some left early.
Ray was noticeably fatigued, but overall I think he did great with all things considered. Like he stated in his prayer request email, he had been in severe pain the entire week leading up to the conference, and he had only gotten about 6 hrs or so sleep for the entire week. Personally, I'm surprised he decided to go on with it. But it's just a testament to where this man's heart is.
He touched on many different subjects. Here's a quick summary that Marques posted under
http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,12098.40.html
* Understanding how we got the bible (which was based on his 2007 Conference)
* Body, Spirit, & Soul (an attendee thought 'Jesus body died, but He didn't' instead of simply Jesus dying)
* Believing the scriptures (notes contained an excerpt from Lake of Fire 5)
* Baptism (there is an entire section of email reply from Ray under 'Baptize'
* Tithing (same notes from tithing paper)
* Spurious passages (touched on this list)
* Is Hell literal? (notes contain section from Exposing 23 minutes in hell paper)
* Why the Resurrection is important (mostly pointed out the scriptures from 1 Corinthians chapter 15)
* Explained, in great detail, all the signs, symbols, & metaphors from the book of Revelation & Daniel
Hope this helps,
Marques
P.S. Just kidding about that last one up... 
The ministers didn't show up, though one attendee did disagree with Ray regarding Jesus' death (as Marques noted above). Ray covered many angles on the Body, Spirit, & Soul; and most importantly, how important Jesus' death was.
Overall, I'd say for most forum members, you probably are already well-versed in most of the subjects that were covered if you've read the material on the site, watched videos, listened to the audio, etc. The conference was really geared towards people who were really new to most of the things we've already been exposed to, which I think is what Ray was hoping for. Still though, I had a great time getting to meet Ray and others. I just hope and pray his health will be restored so he can have future conferences and writings.
But always, as God wills.
