I filled out the registration form, but I wasn't sure whether my registration was confirmed because I didn't receive a confirmation email. It would be helpful if participants received a clear confirmation email and updates about their registration status.

Has anyone decided if they're going to attend with just the Google Calendar invite and no confirmation email? I'm in the same situation and wondering what everyone else is planning to do.
