It's true that events *can* get whitelisted, but this is a very complex method. It relies on the organiser knowing the IP ranges in advance, and knowing who to contact at WMF - and on WMF having the time to deal with it. It would rapidly break down if we needed to use this method for every small training session. (I used to do two or three workshops a week...)
