Default Re: Attendant

No. Although the verb attend means to be present at an event, attendant has a different meaning -a person employed to look after or help others, eg a flight attendant, You can say attendees - Googling it, I came up with We had over 37000 registered attendees representing over 80 international countries but the word I would most likely use in this context would be either participants or delegates.
