so, I was finaly able to do it like this:
events controller, after save:
$event_id = $this->Event->getLastInsertId();
$this->Session->write('Event.id', $event_id);
users view:
$event_id = $session->read('Event.id');
echo $form->input('Event.id',array('type' => 'hidden', 'value' =>
$event_id ));
users controller:
$user_id = $this->User->getLastInsertId();
$this->User->Event->save($this->data);
$this->data['Event']['creator_id'] = $user_id;
maybe not the best way but at least it's working for now!
