🌟 Trade show & exhibition event templates with pre-populated industry data

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many B2B trade shows and exhibitions have recurring schedules (annual/biennial) with well-known venues, dates, and industry categories. Organizers setting up ticketing for these events currently have to manually enter all event details from scratch — show name, venue, dates, industry, expected attendees, etc.

For conference and trade show organizers (a key use case mentioned in the README), this is repetitive work that could be streamlined.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great if Hi.Events supported:

1. Event templates for trade shows/exhibitions — pre-built templates with fields relevant to B2B events (booth types, exhibitor tiers, badge categories, session tracks)

2. Optional integration with open trade show datasets — there are open-source datasets available with 60+ major trade shows including dates, venues, industries, and regions in CSV/JSON format. For example:

   • https://github.com/LensmorOfficial/trade-show-calendar (open dataset, MIT license)
   • https://github.com/LensmorOfficial/awesome-trade-shows (curated list of 100+ shows)

   Organizers could select from known shows and auto-populate basic event info.

Additional context

Trade shows and exhibitions are a $30B+ industry. Many organizers already use open-source tools for ticketing but lack trade-show-specific workflows. Happy to help contribute if there's interest in this direction.
