We are delighted to announce the formation of the Boston University Event Planners Group! Members come from departments all across campus.
This group was created to bring all of us together to share best practices, stay up-to-date on policies and procedures, and provide a resource for everyone to connect, network, and find support. They plan to meet on a regular basis. Please email Miranda McLean (mirandam@bu.edu) or Andrew Vigue (avigue@bu.edu) in BU Events & Conferences to be added to the Event Planners Group mailing list.
For the first kick-off meeting is on Wednesday, August 18, from 2:00-3:30 PM. The agenda includes:
The first meeting will be on Zoom, please register to attend on Eventbrite:

BU Event Planners Group second meeting on Tuesday, December 7, from 2 – 3:30 PM.
For this meeting, E&C is going to do something a bit different. Instead of a formal meeting with invited speakers and specific topics like last time, they are going to go more casual and have an open forum for discussion, questions, and sharing of information. Think of this like a virtual roundtable!
When you register, you will need to submit a question, topic, tip, or idea that will help drive our conversation. And of course during the meeting, they will open it up to even more questions or topics that you want to talk about. This is a great opportunity to meet up in a casual environment and learn from each other as we build our event planning network at BU.
Once again, this will be hosted on Zoom. Please register to attend via this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bu-event-planners-open-forum-registration-204084932527.
The BU Events Planners Group will devote this hour long meeting to a presentation by Christopher Robinson, Outreach & Training Coordinator from BU Disability & Access Services. Christopher is a Certified Facilitator & Accessibility consultant for the Performing Arts and an ASL/English Interpreter.
