The Smith College Events Management Office (EMO) works with Smith faculty and staff and external organizations to plan and execute high-quality, successful events on and off campus. Whether you’re planning a small wedding or a major conference, we’re here to consult with you on your proposed event and dates, conduct an initial review, and offer ideas and recommendations. We can supply event and budget checklists, floor plans, a planning template and logistical advice to meet a wide variety of needs.


Planning Your Virtual Events

See our guidelines for scheduling virtual meetings and other events by reserving a new “location” in 25Live called Virtual Event. Learn more on our Forms & Resources page.

Assistive Listening Devices

Assistive listening devices must be made available in any space that requires amplification. Please review the guidelines below.


Plan an Event

The Events Management Office (EMO) assists faculty and staff and external constituents in the event planning process, including space reservation, set-up, and resource and service requests. We oversee annual Smith events such as Central Check-In, Opening Convocation, Rally Day and Commencement.

The EMO will:

  • consult on large internal (Smith) events, conferences, receptions, lectures
  • provide guidance to faculty and staff in using the 25Live scheduling software
  • answer questions about resources/services needed for an event
  • assist an external organization in planning an event
  • assist with sponsoring an event with an external organization


Get Started

The steps required for planning an event are different for Smith faculty and staff and external organizations and individuals.

Student Events

Students who wish to plan an event must contact the Office of Student Engagement.
