Please remember - this issue is not just about over-crowding at a venue. People who might otherwise be able to attend, do not come because they were not on the 'YES' list (It hasn't happened to me with Bangpyers, but has happened for a different meetup). I think it is necessary to give

I would suggest not to have any kind of fee/charges and don't restrict the number of RSVPs. Allow participants based on a strictly first-come-first-served basis if the venue capacity is limited. When we organized the last data science workshop, the same policy was followed. Thanks & Regards,

Hello, I think the previous poster might be missing a point about organization. The need to charge money BEFORE attending the event is to give the organizers a realistic count of how many people might be attending. There is a difference between paying Rs100/- today to pay for an event I might
