Plan Your Event

Interested in hosting a camp, conference, or event on campus? Your Conference & Event Services coordinator will guide you through an individual planning process to ensure your event runs smoothly. 

CES reviews contracts and rates annually. Once they are finalized, the following process begins:

  • CES Intern confirms Reservation Form receipt
  • CES Coordinator follows up with client to share next steps
  • CES prepares an event quote for client review and approval
  • Once the quote is approved, CES finalizes reservation details and prepares contract
  • Client reviews and signed contract
  • CES sends a welcome letter 30 days prior to arrival with an overview of services
  • CES provides a statement of account to client within 14 days of departure date
  • University of Minnesota accounts receivable provides client a final invoice for payment
