SUBJECT:  UEO Event Planning Assistance System

The University Events Office (UEO), a professional presenting organization, serves the campus as a central resource for event planning. Faculty and staff needing assistance are encouraged to contact the office at extension 44090. UEO staff can provide assistance in developing event budgets; recommending suitable venues; advise on contract negotiations, contract rider evaluation; contract processing; logistical planning; marketing; box office services; production planning; security planning as well as advising on University policies and procedures related to events and activities.

University Events Office has developed a website to assist program/event planners. Planners are encouraged to use the site as it includes essential information which should be helpful when sponsoring an activity. The website address is http://events.ucsd.edu. The website will allow you to submit performance agreements to UEO and these contracts will be sent directly to the speaker/performer. Whenever an individual or performing group comes to UCSD, a UCSD performance agreement is required and is signed by the Director of UEO on behalf of the UC Regents for check issuance. Other individuals should not sign performance agreements as they would be assuming personal liability. Performance agreements are not issued for UCSD faculty or staff without written permission from the appropriate Vice Chancellor.

The website is modified regularly and the site welcomes your questions, comments or recommendations.
