The event organizer should immediately contact the copyright owners of the works and provide relevant details regarding their intended usage, such as how long the works will be used, where they will be used and to what audience. The event organizer should also take whatever steps are necessary to demonstrate a good-faith attempt to obtain permission from the rights holders, including providing proof of attempts such as emails sent or letters received.
