+Event Listeners
+===============
+
+In opposite to :doc:`Entity Listeners </entity-listeners>`, Event listeners
+are services that listen for all entities in your application.
+
+See https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/reference/events.html#implementing-event-listeners
+for more info on event listeners.
+
+To register a service to act as an event listener you have to tag it with the
+``doctrine.event_listener`` tag:
+
+Starting with Doctrine bundle 2.8, you can use the ``AsDoctrineListener``
+attribute to tag the service.
