FREE AND OPEN-SOURCE JOOMLA EXTENSION
Create, publish and manage events directly in Joomla
Build event lists, calendars, venue directories, registration workflows and frontend event portals with one flexible, free and community-driven Joomla extension.
Event management built for Joomla
JEM is based on the original Eventlist extension developed by Schlu. The project continues its open-source heritage while adapting the software to current Joomla versions, modern PHP environments and new event-management requirements.
JEM is developed, maintained and supported by a community of volunteers. Developers, testers, translators, documentation writers and users all contribute to keeping the extension available and improving it for the Joomla community.
