An Autocrat is someone who rules or governs by himself. If  the Crown were to run an event, he/she would(could) be an autocrat. If, however, the organizer is scheduling activities "At the Crown's pleasure" that person is only an Event Steward. Unless they want to go tell the King "I insist you end this Belted/Laurel/etc. Circle right now and come to feast"...
