This semester Event & Conference Services is rolling out a series of Event Planning Roundtables!  We wanted to provide a space where student organizations with similar missions and interests can come together to plan and execute events for the Spring 2020 semester based on the timeline for SGA Finance Board budget proposals in tandem with the Large Scale Event Planning Timeline. This may seem like planning too early but please keep in mind that Spring 2020 budgets are due in October. 

The dates are: 

• Hobbie & Intellectual Sports- Monday, September 16th 5 PM- 7 PM in Commons 329 

• Academic/ Departmental, Career/ Professional, & Honors Societies- Tuesday, September 17th 5 PM- 7 PM in Commons Skylight Room

Sign-ups will close on Sunday, September 15th at 11:59 PM, space is limited so act fast! The sign up link is below. Also, you do not have to be a scheduler to attend! Anyone involved with the planning process is encouraged to come. Please only sign up for the date that corresponds with your organization type, if you do not you will be politely reassigned. Please reach out to bspears@umbc.edu if you have any questions. It is encouraged that at least three but no more than six leaders from your organization attend.
