Special event promoter’s requirements

If you promote special events, you are required to make a “good faith effort” to verify your vendors have an active registration with the Department of Revenue.

Who is an event promoter?

An event promoter is a person who organizes, operates, or sponsors a special event and who contracts with participating vendors.

A person is not a promoter if they only provide a venue, supplies, furnishings, fixtures, equipment, or services for a special event but do not organize, operate, or sponsor it.
