Reservations

Spaces are reserved on a first come first served basis. In order to get everything you need, you should start planning your event as soon as you can.

Complete and submit an Event Inquiry Form.  Provide as much detail as you can even though you may still be in the early planning stages. An email will be sent within 72 hours to acknowledge receipt of the form. This does not mean your event is approved. It just means we have received your request.

All requests are reviewed. The approval process may take up to 14 business days so please plan accordingly when submitting the inquiry form. The Events Manager will evaluate the event request and determine the most appropriate event location based upon the availability of campus space and resources.  Flexibility of location and date is helpful given the high volume of activity on campus throughout the academic year.  It may be necessary for the Event Manager to contact the organization and request additional information on the nature of the event.

A quote will be sent detailing fees which are inclusive of space fees and additional applicable services. Client reviews, approves, signs and returns a copy of the quote within one month of receiving the quote (or less if the event is less than one month away), and sends payment for a 20% deposit.

Once the signed quote and deposit are received, the Cornell Tech Events Manager will reach out to coordinate logistics, catering, and other event details.
