 BurbSec is an information security meetup network hosting events across multiple locations including the greater Chicagoland area, Las Vegas, Galway (Ireland), Minneapolis, and more. This site provides information about upcoming events, locations, and sponsors.
 
-## Project Structure
-
-This is a SvelteKit application with the following structure:
-
-- **Chicagoland Event Pages**: BurbSec locations across the Chicago metropolitan area
-  - Prime - Schaumburg (`/prime`)
-  - North - Wheeling (`/north`)
-  - South - Hickory Hills (`/south`)
-  - East - Chicago (`/east`)
-  - West - Naperville (`/west`)
-  - Northwest - Crystal Lake (`/northwest`)
-  - Southeast - South Bend, IN (`/southeast`)
-  
-- **Elsewhere Event Pages**: BurbSec locations outside the Chicagoland area
-  - Galway, Ireland (`/galway`)
-  - Las Vegas, NV (`/lasvegas`)
-  - Minneapolis, MN (`/minneapolis`)
-  
-- **Special Interest Groups**
-  - CigarSec (`/cigarsec`)
-  
-- **Other Pages**
-  - Sponsors (`/sponsors`)
+## Architecture
+
+This project uses a **data-driven architecture** where all event metadata lives in a single source of truth — `src/lib/data/events.js`. The homepage cards, navigation dropdowns, sponsors page, SEO meta tags, and structured data (JSON-LD) are all **auto-generated** from this file. Individual route pages only contain unique prose content.
+
+### Event Categories
+
+- **Chicagoland** — Chicago, Wheeling, Hickory Hills, Schaumburg, Crystal Lake, Naperville, South Bend
+- **Elsewhere** — Minneapolis, Las Vegas, Galway (Ireland)
+- **Special Interest** — CigarSec

+### Other Pages

+- **Sponsors** (`/sponsors`) — auto-generated cards from events with sponsor data
+- **Error** (`+error.svelte`) — branded 404 / error page

 ## Adding New Event Locations
 
-To add a new event location:
-
-1. Create a new directory in `src/routes/` (e.g., `src/routes/newlocation/`)
-2. Add a `+page.svelte` file using the `EventPage` component with appropriate props:
-   - `title`: Event title (e.g., "BurbSec|Minneapolis")
-   - `subtitle`: Meeting frequency (e.g., "Monthly Meetup")
-   - `location`: City/Location name
-   - `eventImage`: Path to shield/logo image
-   - `gmapsLink`: Google Maps link to venue
-   - `blueskyHandle`: (optional) BlueSky social handle
-   - `discordLink`: (optional) Discord server invite link
-   - `eventbriteLink`: (optional) Eventbrite page link
-   - `meetupPage`: (optional) Meetup.com page link (defaults to main BurbSec meetup)
-   - `irlImage`: (optional) Path to IRL photo from event
-3. Add event shield image to `static/images/`
-4. Update the homepage (`src/routes/+page.svelte`) to include the new location card
-5. Update the navbar (`src/lib/components/Navbar.svelte`) to add the location to appropriate dropdown menu
-6. Update `static/sitemap.xml` with the new URL
-
-### EventPage Component Features
-
-The `EventPage` component supports:
-- Optional social media integrations (BlueSky or Discord)
-- Flexible meetup links (Meetup.com or Eventbrite with calendar icon)
-- IRL event photos
-- Automatic SEO metadata and structured data support
+Adding a new event is now a **two-step process** (down from six):
+
+1. **Add the event to `src/lib/data/events.js`** in the appropriate array (`chicagolandEvents`, `elsewhereEvents`, or `specialEvents`). This automatically updates:
+   - Homepage location cards
+   - Navbar dropdown menus
+   - Sponsors page (if `sponsor` data is provided)
+   - SEO meta tags and structured data (if `seo`/`structuredData` fields are provided)
+
+2. **Create a minimal route page** at `src/routes/<slug>/+page.svelte`:
+   ```svelte
+   <script>
+     import EventPage from '$lib/components/EventPage.svelte';
+     import { getEventProps } from '$lib/data/events.js';
+     const event = getEventProps('your-slug');
+   </script>
+
+   <EventPage {...event}>
+     <p>Your unique event description here.</p>
+   </EventPage>
+   ```
+
+3. Drop the shield image into `static/images/` and update `static/sitemap.xml`.
+
+### Event Data Fields
+
+| Field | Required | Description |
+|-------|----------|-------------|
+| `slug` | Yes | URL path segment (e.g., `east`) |
+| `title` | Yes | Display title (e.g., `BurbSec\|East`) |
+| `subtitle` | Yes | Meeting cadence |
+| `location` | Yes | Human-readable location |
+| `eventImage` | Yes | Path to shield image in `static/` |
+| `gmapsLink` | Yes | Google Maps link to venue |
+| `cardTitle` | Yes | Short name for homepage card |
+| `cardSchedule` | Yes | Short schedule for homepage card |
+| `category` | Yes | `chicagoland`, `elsewhere`, or `special` |
+| `blueskyHandle` | No | BlueSky social handle |
+| `discordLink` | No | Discord server invite link |
+| `meetupPage` | No | Meetup.com page (defaults to main BurbSec) |
+| `eventbriteLink` | No | Eventbrite page link |
+| `irlImage` | No | Path to IRL photo |
+| `seo` | No | Custom SEO title, description, keywords, image |
+| `structuredData` | No | Venue details for JSON-LD schema |
+| `sponsor` | No | Sponsor page card data |
