EPL

    Why We Created EPL

    Existing licenses don't fit the event industry. We fixed that.

    The Problem

    Event images fall through the cracks

    The Current Situation

    Event organizers share promotional images with ticketing platforms, calendars, and media. These partners need to publish the images to promote events.

    Why Existing Licenses Fail

    CC:Too broad – allows any use, not just event promotion
    Rights-managed:Too restrictive and expensive
    No license:Creates legal uncertainty for everyone

    The Vision

    An open standard for the event industry

    EPL is designed to become an industry standard. We encourage adoption by ticketing platforms, calendars, and event management systems.

    The license is open – anyone can use and implement it. We're working on integrations, APIs, and tools to make adoption easy.
