Everything Old is New Again - Re-Purposing Equipment in Creative Ways
Presenter
Richard Williams, Director of Special Events, Loyola University Chicago
Description
With the "new reality" that has converged on all our campuses, event planners have to be more creative than ever, especially when it comes to how our equipment budgets are spent. While the budgets may have changed, the locations haven't. We still are expected to put on beautiful events in the same spaces for the same audiences over and over. This session will look at creative ways to repurpose decor equipment that you already own, criteria to consider when determining whether to buy or rent, and creative ways to finance the purchase of your equipment.
