TDS on event participation

I (a company) am participating in an event wherein I have to book a table for myself. This arrangement for me will happen through an event management company for which the bill is issued by an event management company and not by an event organizer. The bill issued by event management company states 'fees for the service of booking table in conference'.

Query is, whether I am liable to deduct tax on this bill? If yes, then under which section?
