Hi Stefani,
Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in Events Calendar PRO. In our current version of Events Calendar PRO, users can find events via the calendar format. You can also make links to different categories, so users could search through just trainings or lectures, for example.
We are about to release The Events Calendar 3.0 and Events Calendar PRO 3.0, in which you can also search by keyword and location. We are also nearly ready to go on a Filters plugin, which will allow searching by venue, organizer, category, tag, day, and more. You can check out the sneak peeks for all these new plugins here.
In short, I think our current plugin is a great start for you, and it’ll be downright perfect once you can add the 3.0 functionality and the Filters plugin. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best,
Leah
