So, event-driven programming isn't a single cohesive programming approach, but rather a collection of diverse patterns, tools, and algorithms that form a common paradigm that concentrates on programming around the flow of events.

Due to this, event-driven programming exists in different flavors and styles. The actual implementations of event-driven programming can be based on different design patterns and techniques.
