Geography percentages are calculated across attendees with a known location. Attendee attributes come from the registration form and are known for about 85% of attendees.
Bars sum to 85%, not 100%. A further 14% of attendees gave a title naming seniority but no function (for example, “Director”); consultant and sustainability roles under 1% each are not shown.
Bars sum to about 87%. Employer type could not be identified for 13.4% of attendees — mostly one-person companies whose name carries no industry signal. Retail, under 1%, is not shown.
Totals exceed 100% because attendees may select more than one category.
