Event Management
Let our team support you in hosting your event.
Planning
Planning a conference or event on or off campus can be a very stressful business.
With a wealth of experience, the Conference Office is here to help and can support you throughout the entire process. Delegate management and communication are essential to delivering a memorable event and we offer a wide range of specific services that can be tailored to suit your needs.
Our event management service takes the stress out of organising by offering you tailored support before, during and after your event. We offer a range of packages to suit your requirements, but the typical service includes the following steps.
Before your event
Initial meeting to discuss your event and requirements
We like to meet with you to understand the scope of work, aims and objectives of the conference and set initial deadlines and budgets.
Before your event
Set-up of delegate registration pages
Once the registration fees are set, we create the registration pages using our software.

Report on delegate bookings
We keep you up to date with weekly reports on booking numbers.

We will provide a member of staff to operate the registration desk on the first morning of the conference to welcome the delegates.
