Please Define "Event-Producing": Any NON or FOR-Profit organization that is not focused on being a membership-based entity, with monthly meetings for example - but instead is focused on producing multiple business and/or technology-related events, seminars, classes, curriculums or conferences during any one month during the calendar year. In other words, you make a profit and a living on producing paid events.  Universities, colleges, training organizations, and conference or trade-show producers are good examples of this classification.
