Event Management System

This project is a full-stack Event Management Platform built using the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js).
The goal of the system is to provide a centralized platform where participants can browse and register for events while organizers can create and manage events efficiently.

Instead of managing registrations through multiple Google Forms, spreadsheets, and messaging platforms, this application brings everything into a single system.

• MongoDB – Database used to store users, events, and registration data.
