What it is Filled

An event that is organised in advance rather than occurring spontaneously, such as a meeting, conference, festival, wedding, concert, sporting fixture or product launch, with a defined purpose, time, place, participants and programme; planned events are the subject of event management, and the registry uses the term as a general class for organised activities.
