Lower temperatures and longer lines in the Student Center can mean only one thing—the start of fall semester. Welcome back everyone! To kick off the new school year, I wanted to feature some on-campus resources for event planners to get some new skills this semester. Here are a few on-campus and low-cost ways to expand your event-planning skills.
To start off the Event Coordinators’ Network 4th Annual Workshop: Rising to the Next Level with a bang, the Event Coordinator’s Council (ECC) organized and held a robust Vendor Showcase from 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. Licensed and approved vendors with talents ranging from fun and funky giveaways, to culinary arts, to decorative items gave attendees a chance to visit and learn more about their services. The ECC highlighted lesser-known vendors this year, giving attendees a new and fresh look at goodies they can use to take their events to the next level.
A successful event requires just as much behind-the-scenes work as décor and design consideration. At the Event Coordinators’ Network’s 4th Annual Workshop: Rising to the Next Level, one breakout session in particular, Policies and Best Practices in Meeting and Event Procurement, led by Ajay Patel and Sharon Jackson of Business Services, focused on that critical planning.
No matter how many years of event experience one may have under his/her belt, there will always be questions. Whom do I contact? Is there a more efficient way to execute this plan? Can someone remind me of that linen size?
At Georgia Tech, the answer to your question may require a bit more digging due to all the resources, locations, and options we have available. We supply a quick guide for finding answers to your more common questions.
