Event Finder is a web application that allows you to find upcoming events and meetups in a certain raidus of a specified location. After inputting your desired address and radius (miles), click the 'Find Events' button. Your Location appears as a red marker and events show up as green markers. When clicking on an event, you have the option to click the 'More Info' button, which brings you to a new page with more information about the selected event and shows you other events in a 2 mile radius of the selected event.
Event Finder relies on the Google Maps API and Meetup.com API.
