Anyone who engages in rules lawyering (hey, my group is only 999 people, we're all good) is being unethical.

Anyone who brings a large group of people together for frivolous reasons or without taking precautions is being unethical.

What's a large group? It's like porn - you know it when you see it.

To give depth here: limiting people isn't the only relevant dimension. You could argue cities are a gather of more than 1000 people. More important is density, how many people each person is expected to interact with, is there a buffet, etc. If you're running an event with 999 people, hopefully you're organizing to be less bulging at the seams with these other dimensions
