>>>Hi everybody,
>>>
>>>This simple phrase got us stumbled for a while and we had to switch to a different word.
>>>
>>>How to say correctly:
>>>
>>>There are no attendance's for this Event.
>>>
>>>The final phrase we used is
>>>
>>>There are no Participants for this Event.
>>>
>>> BTW, I'm thinking - is FOR a correct preposition here?
>>>
>>>But how to say using "attendance" word?
>>>
>>>Thanks a lot in advance.
>>
>>It depends on the timing of the event. If it already happened, you would say "There were no attendees" or "There were no participants." (In that case, who would know? <g>). If it's being canceled because no one signed up, you would say something like, "This event has been canceled due to a lack of participants."
>>
>>Yes, for is a preposition there.
>>
>>The apostrophe should not be in "attendance's." It is a possessive, i.e. something belonging to attendance, i.e. gibberish.

>Basically we want to show how many people are registered for the Event. What should be the exact phrase using the attendance word?

>Thanks again. I agree about possessive, but it was suggested by a native speaker for some strange reason.

"Currently no one is scheduled to attend."

PS -- Don't necessarily trust native speakers about English -- sometimes we're the last to know! LOL
