> Not sure about this event but in Europe you have to hire a professional security company.
This is not universal across Europe.
I've been part of organizing computer events in the 5k participant range without any hired security or medical staff. I think it greatly depends on the standing and culture of volunteer work in your country.
This comment scares me a little, having recently re-watched The Handmaid's Tale...
I don't really understand the premise. We're already pushing several limits for global sustainability due to the human (over-)population (climate change, food supply, loss of fauna diversity).
Why is it not a good thing to reduce the population size?
Why should we not work towards a sub-2 TFR for a few generations, to reduce human impact on our planet a little?
Why should governments actively work against people's right to choose whether to have a child or not, by increasing fertility through additives to the drinking water?
