This is an ideal use-case for the [Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-wizard-plugin/73345).

Using the one plugin you can set up a Wizard to redirect the `New Topic` button, direct to a form / template to gather event info, and then automatically post an event topic in the correct place.

You should be able to do this with the free version without too much trouble. See this for the event topic posting bit:
