Morphology

confirmed + attendance

The meaning 'an official acknowledgement that someone will be present at an event' is directly and transparently derived from 'confirmed' (verified/established) modifying 'attendance' (presence). The adjectival past-participle + noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Confirmed attendance comes from the simple image of a guest sending back a reply that confirmed they would be on the event's attendance list. So it means an official note that someone 'will be present' at an event.
