Greetings from the Department of Event Management!
A common question we receive in Event Management is what defines an event.
- Anything that is not part of the academic course schedule and requires dedicated use of space (even outdoor space): meetings, lectures, workshops, receptions, etc. ALL events must be scheduled through Event Management or the appropriate event scheduler (for some occupants of Specialized Venues).
- Even outdoor spaces are schedulable spaces. All outdoor events are scheduled by submitting an Event Reservation Request. Approval for events in outdoor spaces is based on the impact of the event on the proposed space, and on other activities previously scheduled in nearby venues.
- If you require support in a space, even a space managed by your department or building, from an associated service provider (Catering/Dining, Facilities, Public Safety, or Media Services), you will need to submit an Event Reservation Request.
Happy scheduling!
