Should I use Event Schema for a page that reports on an event?

[RichardInFlorida]

I have a question about using Schema data. Specifically:

Should I use Event Schema for a page that reports on an event?

I provide high-quality coverage (reporting) about new products being introduced at an industry trade show. For the event, I create a single page using the event name, and provide a great deal of information on how to attend the show, the best places to stay and other insider tips to help new attendees. Then during the show, I list the new products being introduced along with photos and videos.

Should I use event schema data for this page, or does Google only want the event organizer to use that data? Any benefits or drawbacks to using event schema?

Thanks!

Richard

I would go with the Event schema as you're just telling Google about the structured data of the event, not that you're not the organizer. If you correctly implement the data you should get intro trouble.
