Is there a way to add a new column to the Events Table layout that will display event categories right in the table (as opposed to showing categories in the drop down list above)?

Hi there,
Yes however you will need a custom version of the template.
The event table add-on will load a custom version of the template if you place it within your themes root directory (preferably using a child theme).
If you take a look within /eea-events-table-view-template/templates/espresso-events-table-template.template.php around line 74 you’ll find the loop that builds out an array of category slugs, you can use that same loop to build out category names and then output those within the table.

Thank you. Do you happen to know the line of code we need to add in order to pull that category column into the table?

Seeing how its that time of year, how about a full example 🙂
Take a look here: https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/94a60e952f79a0d4e5a370a988a34543
The code that adds the Categories column to the headers is:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/94a60e952f79a0d4e5a370a988a34543#file-espresso-events-table-template-categories-template-php-L46
The code that outputs the categories in the table itself is:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/94a60e952f79a0d4e5a370a988a34543#file-espresso-events-table-template-categories-template-php-L113-L123
You can place that whole template file in the root directory of your theme (preferably using a child theme) and use the shortcode:
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE template_file=espresso-events-table-template-categories.template.php]
To pull that custom template.
Does that help?
