If you plan to organise a similar event

We had a really good experience with using a simple google form for registration. It helped a lot not only to keep track of the audience (of course), but also made it easier to keep in touch with them to inform them about the availabilty of the training materials (slides, posters added to the event page, proceedings, videos, next events).

Adverstising the event at all the major universites and institutes dealing with linguistics in Hungary was a very good choice, as we had quite a few participants from other cities.
