At what point do you attend one of these events and actually admit you think you know enough to take up air space with other artists in such workshops?

It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that your teacher knows more than you do.
And I agree with the posts above. If you feel you may not be ready for a class, check with the instructor. I have been in portrait classes over the years where some students just didn't have good drawing skills, and they ended up frustrated, unhappy, and feeling they had wasted a lot of time and money, which they had, in fact, done.
Don't worry about the other students. Serious painters are there to learn. There will always be someone who thinks they know better than the teacher, and can't resist letting everyone else know. Just ignore them.
