How many Will Attends for an event to go Giga?
North Wales 2016 Mega is currently in the 700s :)

Mega - 500+ attendees
Giga event - 5000+ attendees
So Wales has a bit to go to become a Giga!

Yes, but how many Will Attends for Groundspeak to upgrade it to
Giga status?
The next Giga
HTML http://coord.inf
o/GC55555 (originally published as a Mega) is
'only' at 3,500 Will Attends, and has been Giga for a few months
now.
So probably around 2000?

Only in the 700's :o Would have thought a lot higher than that
now it's got the Maze. Would be great if it went Giga but do
they want it to go Giga? That's a lot of people all in one place
in a small town ::)

From Giga-Event Classification (GS)

8. Giga-Events must demonstrate that they will reach 5000
attendees before they will be upgraded from Mega-Event status.
New events will be required to surpass 4000 Will Attend logs
before they are considered for Giga-Event status. Events with
history will be evaluated based on a minimum of 3000 Attended
logs from the previous year as well as a combination the current
year's Will Attend logs, factors such as location changes,
history, and date changes.

Accomo very limited and I think I saw limited electrical hook-up
left for campers may have something to do with it...
The two Giga's I've been to had facilities that could easily
cope with 7K, especially Munich, Llangollen won't know whats hit
it :D
