Events in PSE 11

Question

I just installed PSE 11 and converted a PSE 9 catalog.
In PSE 9, the Keyword Tags included not only People, but also, Places and Events.  I get that the Places is replaced with the Map in PSE 11, and I like that, but, the events I had in the PSE 9 organizer did not import to the Events Tab in PSE 11.  How can I get them?    
I am running 11.0.0.0 as there are no updates yet for this. 
The catalog came from PSE 9.0.3.0
My computer is runing Windows 7 64-bit , SP-1

Hi,
I have been looking at converting Event tags to Events and it can be done (relatively) simply but I'm not sure yet what the advantages are. I can see a disadvantage in that you can't group or stack events. In my case I would like a group called Cruises under which there would be the events for different cruises. This can be achieved using tags but not with the new events.
To create Events from photos tagged with an event tag:
Go to the Events tab
Click on Add Event (bottom of window)
In the panel on the right, enter the event name - you can also change the dates if you wish.
The grid on the left will show all your media, drag any one of them to the area below the event description. It doesn't matter which you drag as it can be removed later  - it is only needed to make the Done button active.
Click on Done.
Find the new event in the Events tab and double click on it
Click on Add Media (bottom of windows)
In the Add Media window, click on the small triangle next to Advanced
Select Keyword Tag option and select the appropriate keyword from your event tags in the dropdown list.
Click on Select All and then on Done
Now select the dummy one that you added in step 4) and click on Remove (bottom of window) if you want to remove it from the event - you will need to confirm the action.
You should now have an event.
Suggest you test it on a small event first.
Hope that helps,
