There's a separate thread about that

Many people get credit for unattended conferences, but I think there may have been exceptions here or there.
In my case, I booked at a hotel near work and I did show up, but I only scheduled a 1-hour meeting after work, and I left after 35 minutes or so. And I was able to use the hotel's wifi during the "meeting". I claimed 2 attendees (that was the minimum), but they never asked about anyone else. Don't request AV or catering as that is likely to incur extra cost.
