Actually, GDPR doesn't require this. What it requires is informed
consent and legitimate purpose (and since LSF/MM usually publishes the
attendee list for attendee co-ordination, that's a legitimate purpose).
If you look at the LF form you filled in, you already gave "informed
consent": it was the "receive email from sponsors or partners". That's
an agreement to share your email address. This is also sufficient
consent to share with attendees since they're also "event partners".

Next year, simply expand the blurb to "sponsors, partners and
attendees" to make it more clear ... or better yet separate them so
people can opt out of partner spam and still be on the attendee list.
