Furthermore, the creator has the possibility to add more information

• link to other event if the event is part of it
• organizer of the event (one or multiple, either textual or as reference to an existing group)
• involved persons (one or multiple, with name and description)
• address of the location, in case it is not a existing place
• additional information of the location, e.g. certain room
• end of the event: date and time
• description of the event
• one image
