scheduling

[saint]

I am about to arrange a work shop for 2500 attendees. Most of these attendees
have microsoft outlook 2003.
My question is, how can I use outlook to manage this project? If I can
schedule these vents on the calendar and send out invites via the meeting
scheduling tool, I still have the headache of managing the responses
(accepted, declined etc).

Can this tracking data be exported to an excel file? how do i accomplish this?

Thanks
