Georgia Institute of Technology

Thank you to the more than 100 colleagues who registered to attend our professional development event on February 23, where we introduced our new Institute Special Events & Protocol website.  The new site, intended to provide event planners with a centralized location to find all the necessary information they need to produce a successful event, includes information on policies, entertainment resources, catering options, and many other useful topics.

Frank Gordy Dining Room at the William C. Wardlaw Jr. Center

The Wardlaw Center, located at the corner of North Avenue and Techwood Drive, not only houses Georgia Tech’s Development and Communications & Marketing departments, but also offers ideal space for seated dinners for 50 to 100 guests.

While we certainly have some great event resources here at Georgia Tech, there are plenty of other resources out there that we lean on. Below is a list of some of the great event sites around the world wide web. Whether you are looking for industry standards or an idea for a centerpiece, be sure to check these sites out.

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.
