Facebook API retrieving Facebook Event HostedBY

So, I'm building an app for my company that sources several different API's from different sites to grab Events from Hotels in the area.

I've got this working for Facebook..... but I'm trying to figure out how to access the "Hosted by" field associated with an event.

https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/[EventID]?access_token=[Accesstoken] gives me all of the event information I need... except the "Hosted By" personID.

Anyone familiar with this? When I view the source of an event page, I can find the URL to the Hosted by Webpage, but I cannot find the link anywhere. I've searched every forum, and read the Facebook API documentation and just seem to be missing this.

I assume that is effectively the Admin field and Owners connection, but this is making some assumptions from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/event/
