'der Veranstalter' and 'der Ausrichter' both mean someone who plans and carries out an event. 'Veranstalter' is very general and fits concerts, parties, conferences, or festivals. 'Ausrichter' is often used for larger or official events, especially in sports, trade fairs, or competitions. A city can also be an Ausrichter. The words can be confused because both express responsibility for the event. 'Veranstalter' usually sounds more natural in everyday language, while 'Ausrichter' sounds somewhat more official.
