Allow to add a chat to an Event

[akirk]

What about we use Matrix to add a chat to an event? We could automatically create a room associated with an event and embed a Chatrix block.

@psrpinto what options do you see to automatically create a room?

A room could be created by making an API call to the homeserver, an access token would be needed to do so.

I think an application service would be appropriate here: you configure it by modifying homeserver config files, with one of the values in the config being the access token. Then you can make API requests with that access token on behalf of any user.

This would allow for the event organiser to be the creator of the room.
