It's been on my someday list to create a J web application that showcases how to interact with a database. Most of my programming is forms over data, business applications. I am not aware of any examples in J that show it off.
A popular problem that other frameworks/languages solve is the "create an application for managing todos" -- http://todomvc.com/ .. This way a person can compare solutions in different languages to see what fits their style / need more. That being said, event registration seems like a problem that has been solved many times over. Unless there are unique requirements or unless it would be useful to build as a learning / example, I would suggest choosing something that's already built. A non-technical user could build something on their own using something like Google Forms - http://www.google.com/forms/about/ . I know other options exist too.
