<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> a. If you have to set up the event independently, there are a few key logistical things to keep in mind.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"> i. Identify your target list of attendees and email them early. The key administrators you want at your event have very busy calendars maintained by assistants that set events months in advance. I would email all parties you are interested in attending at least 2 months in a</span>dvance advance and send follow up emails if you do not hear back.</span></span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> ii. <span style="font-size:small;">Room availability. You need to begin by doing an inventory of what spaces on campus have all the equipment your need (movable desks, white boards, ect) and it large enough to hold everyone you want to attend. These rooms are also scheduled months in advance so find your campus’s space scheduler and lock up your date before you start sending out personal invitations.</span></span></span>
