Internal SCA Event Proposal
Are you planning an event with the SCA?
Please complete this online form to get the process started.
The SCA Production & Events Manager (scaprod@sfu.ca) will follow up with you about your submission as soon as possible (approximately 2-3 business days) to talk through your technical needs and venue plan, and to discuss any necessary requirements and processes for organizing ticketing, Front of House support, ushers, catering, and any other event-related plans and requirements.
Production Schedule Timeline
Events at the SCA require working with technical coordination and support in the SCA and with GCAPES (Goldcorp Centre for the Arts Production and Event Services), SCA communications, SFU Facilities Services, and often with front of house, ushers, box office, all organized through GCAPES, and sometimes catering through MECS (Meeting, Event and Conference Services). Each part of this behind-the-scenes work requires its own scheduling, which together combine to become part of the overall production timeline of your event.
