Thank you for addressing this issue.
Yes, members of the wikidata community have participated in Force11 events
in the past and also this year:
Members of the Force11 actually visited the Wikidata headquarters last year
in Berlin when our 2017 conference was held there. See that program for
reference:

contain suggestions to blacklist people.

Hello all,
Lydia and I, as moderators of this list, are filtering the announcements
about conferences, keeping only the ones that have a link to Wikidata or
could interest the broad community. The criteria of having to pay for the
conference or not is not taken in account.
In that case, the conference includes open data in its topic, and some
members of the Wikicite group have been there in the past, that's why we
thought it would be interesting for the Wikidata community.
However, we don't tolerate spam, multiple-reminders for the same event,
and we try to reduce the noise as much as possible for the ~1200
subscribers of this mailing-list.
Thanks for your understanding,
Léa

Are you talking about the email I sent to
register for the Force11

I'm going to ask the opinion of the Wikidata
list moderators here. This
email appears to be a soloicitation to pay for attendance to an event,
which
I would consider to be a junk email and would
treat accordingly
including by
blacklisting the sender. Do the Wikidata list
moderators agree?
I didn't want to be the first to raise what I wasn't sure to be an
issue, but I feel the same.
Best regards,
