I don't believe you can use JOIN explicitly in this situation because it's an UPDATE, but I believe you can accomplish the same effect with FROM and WHERE.
UPDATE table SET column1 = TRUE
FROM table2
WHERE table1.event_id = table2.event_id;
I would make sure there's an index on table2.event_id if it's not the PK. If it's part of a composite key, either make sure that table2.event_id is the first column in the index (PostgreSQL will use an index like that; right?) or create an index where it is.

The IN() predicate is the cause.
AFAIK.
