Review the Events Planning Guide

Organizing an event can be complex and time consuming, but our Event Planning Guide simplifies the process with resources and recommendations. Created by the Isenberg Events and Engagement team, the guide helps ensure cohesive and coordinated planning. Start by reviewing the guide for a smooth, successful event.

Guest Speaker Information

To ensure we provide our guests/visitors with the best experience at Isenberg, it is extremely important to know when they are on campus. This will allow us to provide your guests with a gift if appropriate, it will alert our leadership and/or development team of key stakeholders on campus, help promote the event if needed and keep our alumni database up to date.

As each department prepares course schedules and activities for the semester, please fill out the Guest Speaker form below to ensure our team can take care of the following important tasks:

  1. We will have a wrapped gift ready for your guest.
  2. If your visitor is an alumna(us) and/or high-level executive, we will work with Development to make sure everyone is aware of the visit and that a meeting is scheduled if necessary.
  3. We will communicate all guest speakers/visitors to the Marketing & Communications team to ensure there is coverage for speakers we would like to feature on our website or other promotional materials.

Please note that if you want to advertise a speaker or event on the plasma screens around the building, you will still need to work with marketing directly. Link to the MarCom forms can be accessed below.

Gifts/Swag: The Isenberg Special Programs and Engagement department maintains an inventory of Isenberg branded “swag” that can be provided as gifts for presenters, panelists, speakers, and/or judges. There are internal guidelines for gift levels related to the level of the participant's contribution and what they have potentially received previously.

Please complete the Isenberg Visitor/Guest Speaker form below as soon as you are aware your visitor/guests plan to be on campus.

Parking Request—for the convenience of your guests, selecting the closest parking lot to the event is best.

Generally, our visitors/guests are given a parking pass for Lot 34. Visitor parking passes can be done by individual department admininstrators as the passes are charged to the department. They can put a request through this link.

If you need to arrange VIP parking, handicap-accessible parking, or reserve a shuttle, contact Parking Services at (413) 577-7275 or parking@umass.edu and UMass Transit at (413) 545-0056 or transit@umass.edu
