Hi there, CB! Thanks for reaching out–we’re stoked your checking out our plugins. 🙂
Have you seen our Community Events plugin? It allows front-end submissions for Events posts and sounds very much like what you’re describing. Worth checking out, for sure.
In addition to allowing registered site members to post Events, you can expand submissions to anonymous visitors as well. In those cases, we have packaged in reCAPTCHA to limit spam submissions.
Does this help? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
