Eating meat is not important in the first place, as long as your diet is
balanced.

Wrong. Cooks in places where there is no culture for vegeterians/vegans or
kosher, will tell their food has no meat, while it contains bacon, ham, or
other kinds of meat "to give the food a spark of flavour". The will follow
with a "but that is not meat" or "you can put it aside".
Been there, suffered that, alongside with other people in perfectly first
world countries like Norway and Germany.

You seem you have not travelled in Europe much... What you are asking is
reasonable on your own standards, but not form a cook point of view.

And I question why you question why the organizers selected the hotel, since
it is provided at no cost to you. Trying to accomodate the food and sleeping
habits of 200+ people is hard enough to handle, let alone adding every single
person's requirements. So if the free food and free bed does not suite you, I
believe in the web page you can find nice pointers to better hotels and
restaurants where they will gladly provide you things, should you add your own
requirements.

Yes to the pork in your salad. Probably a bit of ham alongside with pinaple,
mayonese and chesse.
