How to add an image to an event with Microdata meta tag?

Instead of using the meta element, you must use the link element (because the value is a URI):

<link itemprop="image" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24638451/image.jpg" />

This is required by HTML5 (bold emphasis mine):

The meta element represents various kinds of metadata that cannot be expressed using the […] link […] elements.

And it’s also explicitly required by Microdata.
