- Will your event include minors?
- Who is paying for the event?
- Will the event be funded by the department, a grant, or registration fees?
- Who will have budget oversight?
- Will the event be on campus or off?
- What type of venue will you need?
- Lecture halls, meeting/conference rooms, large, open event space, etc.
- If the event is multi-day, will sleeping rooms be needed? i.e. will hotel room blocks or on-campus housing be needed?
