On the Front Page of the site I am currently building, there is a event widget as shown in the Image given below.

Now I want that my client should be able to change the Info and the background image from the Wordpress Admin Area/CMS.
How can that be implemented ? Custom Widget ?

If you're planning on adding a lot of events you might be able to achieve this from a plugin such as Event Manager. This would give you the base for the user to input the info, add images, etc. and then allow you to style it using CSS. You could then display the latest event in that section for example.
If it's a one off, another option would be to use something like a custom post type and then create custom fields for the user to edit. You could then determine what fields are required / defaults and the user would update them as required.
Finally you could possibly achieve this through a custom widget as you mention.
Hope that helps in some way.
