520 registered and paid attendees does not mean 520 people showing up for the opening.  For any number of reasons, some people never make it, others are late, and some didn't intend to attend the whole thing in the first place.

Cheers,

So we've now got 520 people coming to the Wikimania (according to Harel on another thread). How are we gonna fit them all into the venue of the opening ceremony, which according to the Wiki can only seat 450 people?

No, there will be more than 450 people at Wikimania. We have upwards of 450 confirmed (paid for / scholarship) attendees. That's actually a very high number, as I have some doubts of some of the numbers of previous years', I believe they were inflated.

Harel: With Rapaport replacing the main auditorium, I take it that there will be less than 450 people in this Wikimania? :(

Casey: I think it's just the yellow Plenary / Ceremony sessions. Thanks!

Could you specify which ones you're unable to place? I can't seem to
find one that doesn't have a venu venue. It looks like the plenary's
are all in Rapaport Hall, and I think those are the only ones that
span multiple columns.
