How it's used

Refers specifically to the organization or group responsible for planning and executing an event. It is a formal term often used in news reports, press releases, and official announcements. While it implies responsibility, it does not necessarily mean the entity is providing the funding, as that would be the role of a sponsor.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 贊助商, which specifically refers to a financial sponsor. Using 主辦單位 when you only mean the company paying for the event can lead to confusion about who is actually running the logistics.
