Given the way the page is laid out (with that column being shared with
training) this is not going to be an effective use of space. We'd need
some actual redesign not just a quick s/3/5/.

We've already got a "More" link for that purpose. I think the real
problem here is that the "More" link looks like it's for more training,
not more events. Can we just move the "More/Submit/RSS" line up above
"Upcoming Training", so it looks like it has something to do with events?
I think that might be a sufficient fix all by itself.
