Event Booking System

A web application that simulates an event booking system for my university, using Node.js, Express and MongoDB. The system provides the following functions:

• Event creation and management: Staff-level users can create and launch a new event, or adjust the
  price, dates/sessions, promotional codes, capacities, etc. on an existing event.
• Event booking: System users can view the list of events, make a booking, and modify or cancel an existing booking.
• User management: System users can view their profile and activity log (history). Users can also update their personal details such as email and password.

Register for a staff account to access all features above.
