@PratikChougule and I are hosting an inaugural forecasting and prediction markets meetup in Washington, DC in September. How many people will show up?

Location, date, and time TBD, though tentatively planning Wed Sep 25th or Thu Sep 26th somewhere central. "Watch" this market for updates in the comments.
Edit: details have been finalized:

Thursday, Sept 26, 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Union Pub, 201 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002
RSVP: https://partiful.com/e/zpObY6EmiQEkgpcJB6Aw

Resolves <5 if it doesn't happen in September. "Washington, DC" refers to the greater Washington, DC area (a meetup in Arlington, VA would count).

People = adults, including significant others but not kids

This is expected to be part of the Forecasting Meetup Network pilot program. See:

Are our predictions accurate?
Yes! Manifold is very well calibrated, with forecasts on average within 4 percentage points of the true probability. Our probabilities are created by users buying and selling shares of a market.
In the 2022 US midterm elections, we outperformed all other prediction market platforms and were in line with FiveThirtyEight’s performance. Many people who don't like betting still use Manifold to get reliable news.
ṀWhy use play money?
