Default Calendar "templates" in 07?

Good afternoon-

For my work, I plan training events that consist of a 7-day schedule of 30-120-minute sessions facilitated by different instructors. These events occur roughly monthly, but do not recur on a perfect basis- they may start on any day of the month, and end 7 days later.

As it stands, I have been planning these events in Outlook by manually entering each "session", 4-7 sessions per day, over a 7-day period. For the next repetition, I have to hammer them all in again.

What I am hoping to do is create a "template" of the 40-60 "sessions" that make up each of these training events, so that I can drop the entire event into place on any given day in the future. Further, I'd like to maintain the ability to manage attendees of each "session" so that I can continue to invite different instructors and resources to each independently. Finally, I'd like to be maintain ability to drag and drop individual "sessions' to other places in the calendar, so that blocks of instruction can be shuffled or swapped to accommodate instructors' schedules.

I know this isn't necessarily called a "template", but I cannot think of another word.

I hope that this question makes sense... I am using Outlook 2007 as part of Office Pro Plus 2007 in an enterprise installation, if that matters.
