To-do list for planning courses and conferences
- Set the date and duration of the course/conference. Check the event calendar to see if another event is scheduled for the same date/time. If this is the case, the course/conference must be held on a different date.
- How many participants will there be at the course/conference?
- Will the course/conference be physical or digital, or both? IT services need information about technical needs that must be met in connection with events in the university college's premises. Information is sent by e-mail to the IT person on duty as soon as you know the time and location of the event and no later than 14 days before the event is to be held.
