EventEase

EventEase is a full-stack event management platform that enables users to discover upcoming events, RSVP, and submit reviews after attending. Administrators can create and manage events through role-based access control, while the system enforces review submission only after events conclude and automatically removes expired events. The platform also incorporates sentiment analysis to evaluate attendee feedback.
