What is a "non event"?

I've seen it in print but never heard it spoken. What, exactly, does it mean?

It is an event that doesn't measure up to its hype. Y2K was a nonevent. All the hype and the fear mongering etc etc etc. The clock ticked over to the new year and nothing happened. All the fear and anxiety was for naught.
