We prepared our Virtual Event Planning Guide to serve as a list of best practices and variables to consider as you develop a plan for your virtual event. Read more to learn how to make you next virtual event a success.
The ECG meets monthly and is chaired by Conferences and Special Events with representation from several divisions:
In the early stages of your event planning, it is recommended that you reach out to the ECG to inquire about any possible scheduling conflicts. The group maintains a wide and ongoing list of events at the College and is an ideal resource to let you know if any events are already scheduled for your choice of dates. The ECG also welcomes information about any confirmed events you are aware of.
Please contact your division representative or email the chair of the ECG, Christina LaDue.
