This had been a subject of lots of conversation on LT. The individual listed as “host” has publicly (on LT) stated that his name was used in error, and that the true applicant/host was Edie Risser. This is not “exposing”anyone.
The phone number and address is also public information, if anyone cares to open the Lincoln phone book or do a Google search. I would expect a sponsor to be proud of hosting their event. Why would they not? Would they not want to extend a “welcoming” invitation? Why would you characterize identifying the sponsor as “exposing” them? As an event sponsor, it is common to provide background information about speakers-background, publications, appearances, etc., etc. That is the usual course of promotion-expressing pride in choice of topic and speakers.
