From Kentico:
Hello Chris,
Thank you for contacting us! It looks like there might be an error on that API Changes page.. sorry about that! In Kentico 9 you can use the following to get the number of event attendees:
EventAttendeeInfoProvider.GetEventAttendees(nodeID).Result.Tables[0].Rows.Count
I'll add this to the DevNet post as well, just in case other people run into this issue. Let me know if you have any other questions!
