If you are an MIT staff member with event planning responsibilities, you’ll want to review the knowledge and best practices we’ve accumulated to help walk you through the process of planning and holding an event at MIT. From registering your event to choosing a venue to finding trusted vendors, these tips and resources will help to ensure that your event is a success.
Also, be sure to sign up to join the MIT Event Planners group to exchange information with colleagues and receive event planning-related news, announcements, and invitations to workshops from Institute Events.
Students and external event planners
MIT students and student organizations planning events are encouraged to check with the Student Organizations, Leadership and Engagement (SOLE) Office for resources and guidance.
External event planners interested in hosting an event on campus may consult with MIT Conference Services, a one-stop, fee-for-service event management resource.
Please note that your company or organization must be sponsored by an MIT department in order to organize an on-campus event. We regret that MIT spaces (with the exception of the MIT Museum) are not available to external groups without sponsorship.
