phpBB 3.1.x introduces system of events throughout the code base and template files that allow extensions to use listeners to add features, inject code and modify existing functionality or behavior...

The event:

 <!-- EVENT overall_footer_content_after -->

was introduced with phpBB 3.1.0-a3 and the purpose for it is to allow to add content on all pages after the main content, before the footer.

What is and what does it do?
