:O When will the event start...and since I'm not so fimiliar with the ALO series how are the parties set up in events? Are we just a whole group or...do we have to be in diverse groups?

In SAO and ALO by extension, you generally had normal parties like in MMOs and stuff. Though there is a feature where you can switch out with your teammates in the middle of battle and stuff, but generally it's the same as normal I'm pretty sure
