Event planning
Be sure to check the Calendar and any related Groups' events before planning an event. Weekends are horrible for students, and campus during the day is horrible for non-students. A good compromise is UM North Campus after 6 (free parking), or Central Campus or downtown near the Diag (on a mid-week night). Check out the College of Engineering room schedule
and the SOAS facilities page
for availability...

They're booked up through February, but could offer March 1. Theyr'e also totally booked in April, with few holes in March and May.
They need to schedule events the first of the month preceding the month of the event - e.g. by Feb 1, in order to do a March event.
The main theater seats 1700, the screening room 200. Non-profits benefit from a reduced rate. Rates depend on day and time.
For a daytime event:
Main theater: Sat $2750, Fri/Sun $2000, Mon-Thurs $1800.
Screening room: $500 for most days, and they only do daytime events there
For both, there are other costs involved, not included - tech labor, which for a slide/DVD presentation would be $300-800, and a "restoration fee" of $1.50 per head, regardless of what we charge for tickets.
They were very excited about doing this event, and even more interested about the idea of doing an Ignite! night (which Ryan Burns and I have had some early discussions about).
