Thanks to share your experience. This was very interesting.
I always advertize our workshops as Python or R workshop
in social media but never had this problem. I'm not trying to blame
anyone but could you let us know if for that workshop students need to
register themselves going over our workshop template [1]
or this was an private workshop?

Cheers,
