These look very nice!

It would be useful if the dialog had a "Web page" field similar to the
one in the task editor.  I tend to mark conference days in my calendar
and putting the conference's URL in the Description field is not very
convenient -- you can't just click on something to go to that web page.

Evolution HEAD has a nice feature in which the context menu for tasks or
appointments displays an "Open web page" command if the URL field is set
in the corresponding object.  I find it really useful:  you see your
list of tasks, right-click on an item, and select "Open web page".

For historical reasons the task editor always had a "Web page" field,
but the event editor doesn't have one.  If you will be redesigning both
dialogs to be similar to each other, I guess it would be a good idea to
move the "Web page" field to the first tab of the dialog --- in the task
editor it is hidden in the "Details" page.
