All you have to do is confirm your Marriott Rewards # when they reach out to you about paperwork/event details. The only difference is some properties post immediately, others take up to 10 days. I've shown up for some meetings, and missed others. No difference, as others have said no one checks if you're actually using the room.
I on the other hand am at 0% on booking the meeting online and getting credit for it (ok, N=1 sample size). Filled out my form and everything. Even showed up

but never credited...YMMV.
