That mean we need to use the back office to send invitation to each guest.
For all the speakers, I will use this process as they already confirmed 
to join and I have all their email addresses.

But for sponsors, it may not be that convenient. Since they will need to 
ask internally who will be joining. The process will be quite 
complicated: we will need one person inside the company to ask 
internally who will be joining, ask for their names / email address, we 
send them invitation, they have to confirm emails again in order to get 
a eticket. It will be duplication of process and work, any easier way? 
e.g. can we just send a link together  with a code / password or 
anything? :)

Besides, I would suggest not to limit any number of participants 
especially for our top three sponsors.
