    I have my doubts as to how genuine these events are i.e. they were orchestrated rather than something that happened. The German one in particular seemed to have a lot of "event grade" security and barriers in place.

    I have put a few public events up on Facebook that I wish were as well attended!

    In any case, you can set up an event as a private event that is limited to those who have been invited and you can further restrict those to being able to invite somebody else (thus limiting the exposure on FB).
