Corporate Events
The Events team works to support the University’s Corporate Strategy, through the organisation and delivery of high profile events specialising in corporate, alumni and research focused events across Exeter and Cornwall.
We support:
- Vice-Chancellor-led events
- Royal/Ministerial visits
- Building openings – LSI, SERFS, Penryn Sports Centre
- Faculty or Professional Services led high-level VIP visits to the University
- We also directly support alumni events, and events for Research Services and Exeter Innovation directorates.
For Exeter campus events, we also work closely with Event Exeter, the University’s dedicated conference and event team. Similarly, for events in Cornwall, we work with FX Plus in Penryn who provide a conference and events service.
We can offer advice / consultation:
The Events team also acts in an advisory role to faculties, institutes and professional services who are organising events, to maintain consistency in standard and approach to University events.
We are able to advise on the following:
- Conferences
- Seminars and workshops
- Internal networking events
- Publicising your event
- Advice on services and suppliers to contact
We are also able to offer assistance and recommendations with regards to event publicity and can advise on specific tools (eg Eventbrite and email marketing for events).
Event planning toolkit
Our Events Planning toolkit includes templates and resources to help event organisers.
The Health and Safety Event Management Standard provides checklists and explains the actions required by any person defined as an organiser of events on University managed premises (including campus grounds).
We welcome enquiries and suggestions to provide additional information as necessary. If you have any questions, please email eventenquiries@exeter.ac.uk or contact a member of the team below.
Who we are
I organise a wide range of alumni events, visits, and engagements to enable Global Advancement to achieve our strategic objectives.
I deliver a range of key events throughout the year, but also provide professional advice for alumni events that are delivered by colleagues working in Colleges to ensure the consistency in standard, style and approach of University events is maintained.
Global Advancement events range from larger scale events of circa 250 people to small level cultivation dinners. Most of the events take place in London. I act as the central contact for events delivered by the wider University where alumni are attending.
I work part-time over three days.
