Foursquare expands on existing listings for major events such as movies, concerts and sporting events. Businesses will now be able to post smaller happenings such as book signings or trivia tournaments.

The company hopes the feature will help businesses lure customers, giving it more leverage in future plans to monetize its local search capabilities.
