Event Planning: Tech, Sound, and Setup

Learn how to arrange for technical support, sound, and setup needs for your student organization event.

  • Tech/ sound and setup for Price Center and other program locations

    • If you have audiovisual or tech needs (sound, stage, lighting, etc.) for an event taking place in the Price Center or other campus program location, get a written estimate from Tech Services (level 3, Price Center East) before entering it in TAP.
    • Acoustic or amplified sound in any of the Price Center conference rooms requires advance written approval from a Tech Operations Manager.

    Note: If you have special requests for room setup, visit the One Stop Desk (level 3, Price Center East) or call (858) 534-7666 to amend your room reservation.
