Your registration confirmation suffices, as it contains the correct phrasing to serve also as an invitation letter.
Thanks Rich! Would be good if LF adds this to the event sites. Regards, Ate

It then goes on with providing a link to request such an Invitation Letter [2], but that ends up with the following text: "Visa letter requests are not currently being accepted. Please check back soon." I'm puzzled what this is all about and if such Invitation Letter is required indeed. And if so, how about getting one on a short notice? Note, I already did apply for and receive the ETA.
