I believe the answer is:

attend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be there' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for attend that I've seen before include "Completed" , "Take part in" , "Go regularly to (school)" , "Follow" , "Being 16 [LISTEN]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
