+ Event registration and management such as a lecture series or a social gathering online.
Organizations often have a number of set events which they like to repeat. For example, a company may have a certain presentation which it makes over and over. A photoraphy club may hold monthly outings. A marathon race could occur annually. The Events package provides a way to coordinate activities, venues, and users via a web page. This is a port of the ACS Classic 3.x events package originally written by Arsdigita. See package documentation for more info.
