2025 Conference & Events Seminar
January 27, 2025 – January 30, 2025 CST
The Conference and Events Seminar is for higher education professionals that are engaged with conference/events sales, bookings, and execution as well as professionals who have oversight of staff members with these responsibilities.
The work of this demographic accounts for a substantial part of the auxiliary-based union operations budget, and this seminar will allow professionals to learn, share, and network. Potential topics that will be addressed include daily management, space and equipment functionality, exceptional customer service, and conference and event services. Educational programs and networking opportunities will be geared toward those who strategize, operate, sell, plan, and execute the programs in this space.
The call for sessions will open on September 3, with a deadline of October 15.
