When you want to say the hour it will always be the verb "ser". - Zizoun, Feb 27, 2010

When an event occurs ser is used even though it is temporary and it is stating a location. Its just one of those nuances in the spanish language. Also, I think that if you are trying to express a time, no matter what, ser is always used.

estar is used for location of physical objects Ser for locations of abstract objects: meetings, concerts, plays, dances, parties, et. al. - 0074b507, Feb 27, 2010

"¿A qué hora es el evento en la universidad?"
"El evento es/será a la una y cuarto del mediodía"(será=future)
edit: sorry just woke up a bit ago and didn't see that comment... Pescador explained it good though.
Anyway, ser/estar is too long like to explain it in a post. I would suggest to take a look at the lessons of this site since they are very good.

You should explain why you are using Ser where she used Estar (for non-physical object locations). You understand these things, don't assume that we do. - 0074b507, Feb 27, 2010
I guess I'd better read more closely next time,. I completely misread the sentence. I thought she was talking about where the event was taking place; not when. - 0074b507, Feb 27, 2010
