That video does not do much justice to the real thing, but this was one of the things G+ was missing compared to FB, and being an event manager myself, hoped to see. At first sight it pretty much covers the same functionality as FB, and adds some more: extra information fields with purpose (eg. ticket seller's url, transit information), online events through Hangout, .... If they have text formatting in the detail section, that feature alone would be a win, it's much more expressive than the plain text version on FB (there often people just don't see the information right in front of them because they skim , then keep asking). Edit: It does have text formatting. Also, here's some more info: http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/events/ http://www.google.com/+/learnmore/events/
