Emory Events Exchange
Introducing the Emory
Events Exchange
The Office of University Events is pleased to provide the Emory Events Exchange, a free educational forum and social network for all Emory staff, faculty, and students who plan, provide services for, or are affected by campus events.
We provide information and gather a few times each year to present campus experts and to share ideas and best practices. You’ll explore new venues, see the impact of event technology, and uncover the latest décor and culinary trends. You’ll encounter new vendors as well as smart ways to maximize event branding. We’ll share tips on ways to improve guest safety, ensure accessibility, and tangible ways to support sustainability.
We’ll provide you with the information you need to extend the presidential standard of hospitality to all campus events regardless of the budget. This level of hospitality fosters an atmosphere of goodwill and strengthens the bonds between your guests and Emory.
We hope you will join us! Register today. Registration takes only one minute and you are not committing to anything other than receiving information and invitations to Events Exchange opportunities. We will contact you closer to each meeting to see if you are able to attend.
Did you miss the first meeting on September 17? See a highlights of that program by selecting the archived meetings from the menu on the left. Since each program is unique, we hope you will "save the date" for the November 19 and January 20 upcoming events.
Spread the Word
Please encourage other Emory students, staff, or faculty members to join. Many of the program members joined through word of mouth from people like you who recognize the impact that this program can have in your area and for Emory as a whole.
What are the members saying?
Quotes from an anonymous post-event survey:
"Thank you so much for organizing both this event and the entire group. I left with some great ideas -- things I never knew existed at Emory despite working here for almost 10 years. Thanks again!"
"I truly loved the idea behind the meeting of bringing people with event planning interest together and what it accomplished. Thanks for a great afternoon program."
"Wish it had been created years ago"
"Including so many topics was very worthwhile. [The entertainment panel session] enlightened us on many aspects of entertaining I was unaware were available."
"I got a lot of good information especially about entertainment and the availability of student services - normally we do not do entertainment due to the perceived costs."

Vendor & Venue Partners
* The "Vendor and Venue Partners" are local company and venue representatives who have agreed to share their knowledge and expertise with members of the Emory Events Exchange. Status as an Events Exchange Partner does not indicate University preference, or guarantee vendor status with the University, with the exception of the full-service caterers who are—at the time of participation—members in good standing on Emory's approved caterers list. All campus entities are cautioned to follow all purchasing policies and procedureswhen selecting and contracting with a vendor.
