But what if they got an email sent to the mail address they
registered with, saying something like:

'''
Confirmation of registration for the EuroPython 2004 Conference.

Someone (presumably you) have registered to attend at the EuroPython
2004 Conference in ... with the following information:
[snip]

Please get in touch with us at admin at europython.org if this
is not correct.

Log in to the EPC web site at [url] using whatever at example.com with 
password ew435df2 if you want to change or add any information,
such as food preferences or to submit papers etc, or if you want 
to book a room at our bla bla bla.

Make sure that you save this information for further reference.
