Joind.in currently offers the possibility to register a multitude of events, such as: - Courses or workshop days, ex: http://joind.in/event/view/845 - Conferences, ex: http://joind.in/event/view/782 - User groups, ex: https://joind.in/event/view/828 Joind.in registers the longitude and lattitude for events (and offers lookup for those who only know their address) and using this information it is possible to do a lookup of events that are near you. Concerning grouping of events, such as specific user groups or php-only events, does Joind.in support tags. With some user contributions it is even possible to register user groups with some meta-data and link them to a specific tag. -- Mike
