 We anticipate this EESSI tutorial at ISC to be well attended with 20-50 attendees. This estimate is based on attendance at previous EESSI and EasyBuild events, including:
 \begin{itemize}
-\item recent webinar series related to EESSI in May-June 2025 with over 150 registrations;
-\item the yearly EasyBuild User Meetings (over 50 in-person attendees, alongside over 70 online registrations, in 2025);
-\item an online EESSI tutorial in Dec'23 with over 130 registrations;
-\item the in-person (half-day) ISC'22 EasyBuild tutorial with about 20 attendees.
