Your complete guide and checklist for running an event on campus or other site.

Booking a space

Have you booked a space for your event? You can complete the College Room Hire form here.

If you need some help choosing the appropriate space for your event put in a request with our events coordinator here.

What resources do you need for your event? Have you booked these? (Eg- AV equipment, tables, payclip).

Promote your event

You need to get the word out if you want your event to be a success. Ensure you have a clear message/goal for your event and develop a campaign around this. Social media is the easiest way to market these days. Also consider email, posters etc. Make a clear plan to do this at a time to optimise your event.

Have you sent out invitations? How do guests know about the event?

Be organised

Depending on the size of your event, a runsheet can make it much easier to stay on top of everything. It is pretty much a checklist of everything that needs to occur for the event to succeed in order of time. It makes it easy to follow throughout the day and you can hand out copies to other interested parties.

Have you established a budget? How much is allocated to each aspect of the event and who is footing the bill.

Catering

Are you catering your event? Here are some caterers we have used previously;

Do you need any special licences? (Eg alcohol).

If you need any assistance or advice around your event please do not hesitate to put in a request with our events coordinator here
