On-campus Professional Events Network (OPEN)
About
Launched in October 2019, the On-campus Professional Events Network (OPEN) connects SFU staff, faculty and students who plan events with event planning resources and opportunities for networking and development.
Ceremonies and Events hosts OPEN meetings regularly. Programs at these gatherings include a range of offerings from guest speakers and workshops to sharing event protocols, processes and information to support event planners on campus. We encourage OPEN members to share their ideas for future sessions.
The Ceremonies and Events Leadership Team oversees OPEN’s operations and direction.
Upcoming meetings/workshops
OPEN members will receive calendar invitations for upcoming workshops and meetings as they become available. Please accept the calendar invitation to register.
