I've used Joomla 1.5 + the EventList plugin/component/module to handle
event registration in the past.  It does not handle resource
allocation, but perhaps another component does.  If you need help
customizing (hacking) the EventList component, send me a message
off-list.

This is another event component for Joomla (I have never tried it):

A stand-alone program:

However, vento is vaporware ATM...
