The communications department writes the script for the convention. Every rank and filer lined by the international has their remarks pre-written. Same thing for those pro-Stern remarks that appear on progressive blogs - canned comments all of them.
The communications staff is nervous because the presence of an opposition group means there are people not scripted getting up to talk. And if things go badly, communications director Steve Trossman will fire them.
I'm sure there were people specifically assigned to follow you around. That was their job during the convention.
