Welcome to Elon University's Event Planning site.  This site is intended to guide you through the event planning process and provide you with helpful resources. 

*Please Note: This site is a work in progress.  If you have any suggestions to make the site more useful, we'd love to hear from you!

Step 1) Reserve the Location

Use Elon's "SPACES" reservation system to select the most appropriate venue for your event. The Space, Planning And Calendar Event Scheduling (SPACES) system is a one-stop shop for requesting spaces and viewing location details.

Important Tips:

• Please use Firefox 3.0 (or higher) or Google Chrome browsers to access SPACES.
• Once you land on the website, click "Sign In" to begin your event registration or approval (the "Sign In" link is located in the upper right hand corner of the site). Log in using your Elon username and password.
• For more information, see the SPACES help documentation.

Step 2) Contact Event Resource Providers

The following event resource providers will help ensure the success of your event.  Be sure to contact them well in advance to discuss your event and reserve their services.  If you don't contact them, chances are they won't know about your event!

Step 3) Advertise your Event

Once your event is planned and you've confirmed the resources above, be sure to promote it! 

Promotion ideas:

• Add the event to the Campus Calendar
• Send an email targeting your audience (i.e., departmental, facstaff, etc.)
• Add the event to a targeted digital sign on campus
• Contact the Office of University Communications for more ideas
