Whether fees paid to speakers via booking agents constitute "event management service": held that taxability depends on whether the contract falls within the statutory definitions of "event management"/"event manager"; a mere booking of speakers does not involve planning, promoting or organizing the event and thus does not qualify - outcome: levy cannot be sustained.
