You need to have:

1- Installed the Event module (http://drupal.org/project/event)
2- Enabled this module in Administer/Modules section
3- Enabled one or more node types to be used with the event system (you can follow the indications of “INSTALL.txt” file, located in the Event module installation package)

Note 1: If isn't any event to show, you will get the warning

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/common.inc(1537) : eval()'d code on line 31.

You can avoid that declaring the variable $output as an empty array before the while statement.

Note 2: If you want to show the events related to nodes of type "page" you only have to put that value replacing the custom node type "results_page" in the code.

You actually need to select the php input format in your post, look just below the body field.
