A series of Events. Included events can relate with the series using the superEvent property.

An EventSeries is a collection of events that share some unifying characteristic. For example, "The Olympic Games" is a series, which is repeated regularly. The "2012 London Olympics" can be presented both as an Event in the series "Olympic Games", and as an EventSeries that included a number of sporting competitions as Events.

The nature of the association between the events in an EventSeries can vary, but typical examples could include a thematic event series (e.g. topical meetups or classes), or a series of regular events that share a location, attendee group and/or organizers.

EventSeries has been defined as a kind of Event to make it easy for publishers to use it in an Event context without worrying about which kinds of series are really event-like enough to call an Event. In general an EventSeries may seem more Event-like when the period of time is compact and when aspects such as location are fixed, but it may also sometimes prove useful to describe a longer-term series as an Event.

Property	Expected Type	Description
Properties from Event
`about`	Thing	The subject matter of the content. Inverse property: subjectOf
`actor`	PerformingGroup or Person	An actor (individual or a group), e.g. in TV, radio, movie, video games etc., or in an event. Actors can be associated with individual items or with a series, episode, clip. Supersedes actors.
`aggregateRating`	AggregateRating	The overall rating, based on a collection of reviews or ratings, of the item.
`attendee`	Organization or Person	A person or organization attending the event. Supersedes attendees.
`audience`	Audience	An intended audience, i.e. a group for whom something was created. Supersedes serviceAudience.
`composer`	Organization or Person	The person or organization who wrote a composition, or who is the composer of a work performed at some event.
`contributor`	Organization or Person	A secondary contributor to the CreativeWork or Event.
`director`	Person	A director of e.g. TV, radio, movie, video gaming etc. content, or of an event. Directors can be associated with individual items or with a series, episode, clip. Supersedes directors.
`doorTime`	DateTime or Time	The time admission will commence.
`duration`	Duration	The duration of the item (movie, audio recording, event, etc.) in ISO 8601 duration format.
`endDate`	Date or DateTime	The end date and time of the item (in ISO 8601 date format).
`eventAttendanceMode`	EventAttendanceModeEnumeration	The eventAttendanceMode of an event indicates whether it occurs online, offline, or a mix.
`eventSchedule`	Schedule	Associates an Event with a Schedule. There are circumstances where it is preferable to share a schedule for a series of repeating events rather than data on the individual events themselves. For example, a website or application might prefer to publish a schedule for a weekly gym class rather than provide data on every event. A schedule could be processed by applications to add forthcoming events to a calendar. An Event that is associated with a Schedule using this property should not have startDate or endDate properties. These are instead defined within the associated Schedule, this avoids any ambiguity for clients using the data. The property might have repeated values to specify different schedules, e.g. for different months or seasons.
`eventStatus`	EventStatusType	An eventStatus of an event represents its status; particularly useful when an event is cancelled or rescheduled.
`funder`	Organization or Person	A person or organization that supports (sponsors) something through some kind of financial contribution.
`funding`	Grant	A Grant that directly or indirectly provide funding or sponsorship for this item. See also ownershipFundingInfo. Inverse property: fundedItem

`maximumAttendeeCapacity`	Integer	The total number of individuals that may attend an event or venue.

`maximumVirtualAttendeeCapacity`	Integer	The maximum virtual attendee capacity of an Event whose eventAttendanceMode is OnlineEventAttendanceMode (or the online aspects, in the case of a MixedEventAttendanceMode).
`offers`	Demand or Offer	An offer to provide this item—for example, an offer to sell a product, rent the DVD of a movie, perform a service, or give away tickets to an event. Use businessFunction to indicate the kind of transaction offered, i.e. sell, lease, etc. This property can also be used to describe a Demand. While this property is listed as expected on a number of common types, it can be used in others. In that case, using a second type, such as Product or a subtype of Product, can clarify the nature of the offer. Inverse property: itemOffered
`organizer`	Organization or Person	An organizer of an Event.

`subEvent`	Event	An Event that is part of this event. For example, a conference event includes many presentations, each of which is a subEvent of the conference. Supersedes subEvents. Inverse property: superEvent
`superEvent`	Event	An event that this event is a part of. For example, a collection of individual music performances might each have a music festival as their superEvent. Inverse property: subEvent
`translator`	Organization or Person	Organization or person who adapts a creative work to different languages, regional differences and technical requirements of a target market, or that translates during some event.

Properties from Thing
`additionalType`	Text or URL	An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. Typically the value is a URI-identified RDF class, and in this case corresponds to the use of rdf:type in RDF. Text values can be used sparingly, for cases where useful information can be added without their being an appropriate schema to reference. In the case of text values, the class label should follow the schema.org style guide.
`alternateName`	Text	An alias for the item.
`description`	Text or TextObject	A description of the item.
`disambiguatingDescription`	Text	A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
`identifier`	PropertyValue or Text or URL	The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
`image`	ImageObject or URL	An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
`mainEntityOfPage`	CreativeWork or URL	Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details. Inverse property: mainEntity
`name`	Text	The name of the item.
`potentialAction`	Action	Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role.
`sameAs`	URL	URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.
`subjectOf`	CreativeWork or Event	A CreativeWork or Event about this Thing. Inverse property: about
