Definitely attend this if you can! I went last year and it was an amazing experience. Highly, highly recommended. (Yes, even more highly than donating the price of tickets to your favorite effective charity.)
EDIT: also, feel free to ask me stuff about the participant experience, either here or by private message.
How did it compare to CFAR? I thought CFAR was a bit overrated myself. (Maybe because I’m already in the Bay Area and have lots of local EA/LWer friends I tend to get less out of these events?)
I don’t think they’re comparable? I enjoyed the EA summit for different reasons than I enjoyed CFAR. (I had already been to a CFAR workshop by the time of the summit, and was still very happy I went.)

Yes; I totally loved attending last year.
