An example of a query that can be placed into a page template that displays a list of events for Event Espresso 4

example-query.php

<ul class="events">
<?php
$paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;		
$atts = array(
	'paged' => $paged,
	'title' => NULL,
	'limit' => 100,
	'css_class' => NULL,
	'show_expired' => FALSE,
	'month' => NULL,
	'category_slug' => NULL,
	'order_by' => 'start_date',
	'sort' => 'ASC'
);
// run the query
global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new EventEspresso\core\domain\services\wp_queries\EventListQuery( $atts );
	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
        ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
        <?php do_action( 'AHEE_event_details_after_the_event_title', $post ); ?>
        </li>    	
<?php
	endwhile;
	$big = 999999999; // need an unlikely integer
 
	echo paginate_links( 
	   array(
    		'base' => str_replace( $big, '%#%', esc_url( get_pagenum_link( $big ) ) ),
    		'format' => '?paged=%#%',
    		'current' => max( 1, get_query_var('paged') ),
    		'total' => $wp_query->max_num_pages
	   ) 
	);
	else:
?>
	<li>No Upcoming Events</li>
<?php 
    endif;
// now reset the query and postdata
wp_reset_query();
wp_reset_postdata();
?>
    </ul>

I'm curious how to display events like this but excluding a category.

@robynlarsen, I tried using category_slug => 'my-category' and that worked. I think for multiple categories, you might try something like an array category_slug => array('category1', 'category2')

What a wonderful example.
Thanks josh.
May u help me out in further query modification?
Hope you will :)

I want to use meta_query to list events on page.
Somewhat like below code.
$atts = array(
'title' => NULL,
'limit' => 10,
'css_class' => NULL,
'show_expired' => FALSE,
'month' => NULL,
'category_slug' => NULL,
'order_by' => 'start_date',
//'order_by' => 'end_date',
'sort' => 'DESC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'start_date',
'value' => '2017-01-08 08:00:00',
'type' => 'DATETIME',
'compare' => '>=',
),
)
);

I want to implement search functionality for Event Espresso and i have those fields:
State - Dropdown (How to list all state? May be Venue)
Category - Dropdown
Start Date - Datepicker
End Date - Datepicker
Keyword - input

On submit those values will be submitted and based on those , i will get filtered events that are related with those values.

So how to implement this?
Please help.
Thanks in Advance
