It is not yet known how many people will attend the actual Summit. However, for

60,000 people might be in Johannesburg at the time of the Summit, including the
official delegates to the Summit itself and a significant number of additional
people attending events associated with the Summit, such as the civil society
Global Forum and the Ubuntu village and exhibition. There is also expected to
be a significant media presence.
