How to display only an excerpt of the content with custom post types?

You only need two small changes (1st and 3rd lines), though I also took the liberty of tweaking the classes on the div to what seemed more appropriate:

<h1 class="title"><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/67750/<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>
<div class="excerpt event">
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<div class="page-link">'.__('Pages', 'cpotheme').':', 'after' => '</div>')); ?>
</div>
