An event can be defined simply as "something that happens at a given place and time." An event can be broken into different 'subsets', for example, by day or session.

26th Session of Committee on Fisheries (COFI), Rome, Italy. 7 March 2005 - 11 March 2005
17th Committee on Forestry (COFO), Rome, Italy. 15 March 2005 - 19 March 2005
