The Conference and Events Handbook has been created to ensure that you get the best value from your event and to give you step by step guides to planning, running and making the best use of resources available to you around campus.
Conference and Event Planning Handbook
For over 15 years we have supported colleagues in delivering events ranging from small, one-day events to week-long conferences attracting up to 3,000 delegates. Three Case Studies, illustrating how we can help you, can be found at the link below.

With extensive experience in event management, an intimate knowledge of the University campus and excellent relationships with internal and external service providers, the staff are ideally placed to handle every aspect of corporate or private events.
For smaller events, our team can assist with everything from sourcing and booking rooms across campus, liaising with University departments and looking after your guest queries to providing on-the-day assistance.
