Event Contributor

An event contributor is a person, group, or organization that plays a meaningful role in the creation, presentation, or execution of an event—but is not necessarily the main organizer.

Common types of event contributors:

  • Artists or performers (e.g., a musician in a concert)
  • Speakers or presenters (e.g., at a talk or workshop)
  • Curators (for exhibitions)
  • Collaborating institutions (e.g., co-hosting organizations)
  • Technicians or stage designers (in technical roles)

In data terms:

If you’re modeling events (e.g., in a database like Uranus), an event contributor:

  • Might be linked to one or more events.
  • Can have a role or function (e.g., “pianist”, “director”, “moderator”).
  • Is distinct from the organizer, who manages the event overall.
