📊 Scale
No reliable edition-specific attendance or exhibitor total was confirmed. A partner logo list is not an attendance census.
Organizer navigation and participant routes were checked. Historical directories remain historical; named participants are not guaranteed meetings. The official 2027 site publishes a programme preview and speakers. Hotel-room deadlines include one stale 2026 line; that line is not used to set 2027 terms.
