Get confirmation of attendance (2 weeks before the event): Hi X, we’re so excited to see you for the event! We think you could add a lot of value and help newer attendees navigate the EA space. If you can’t attend (for whatever reason), please let us know by September 2nd. We have over 100 people on the waitlist.
This is the purpose of registration. Perhaps we can use some language to make this clearer though?
Note again that most conferences don’t utilise waitlists that regularly, or clear them before applications close. I think this was likely more of a problem for EAGxBerkeley than most events.
