JEvents - So Much More Than an Events Calendar [EN]

JEvents and its long list of addons allows you to create a wide range of event based websites for example:

• Upcoming event information presented as calendars, lists, blogs, timelines etc.
• Sophisticated event booking with ticketing, capacity management, waiting lists, custom fields
• Event reminders
• Event invitations allowing you to keep track of who will be attending
• Venue assignments with maps and directions
• Event organisation - assigning people to roles, making sure that equipment is not double booked etc.
• Linking events to content for agendas, minutes and post event reports
• Ensuring that events are not double booked by category, venue or managed people/resources

Sometimes the number of possibilities can be overwhelming and its not always obvious where to start with your implementation. In this presentation I will run through some examples using combinations of some of these main features and give an overview of how they are put together.

I will also give a demonstration of our new YooTheme Pro integration and show how you can create a sophisticated event system customised for your YooTheme installation.
