Planning Events

Questrom has contracted with the virtual event platform, Remo, to provide our community with a new way to share information and connect. This platform is great for social and networking-based events.

If you are interested in planning an event in Remo, please submit a request using the Questrom Event Support Request Form and a member of Questrom Events and Conferences team will work with you to build a custom event.

Questions about creating an event on Remo? Email questromevents@bu.edu.

On-campus room reservations for student organizations are handled through the 25Live platform.  Access to 25Live will only be given to the member of your organization who is listed as “Secretary” on your organization’s Engage profile.  There is a mandatory Blackboard training video required of each Secretary before use of the 25Live platform.  If your secretary is experiencing any issues with accessing the Blackboard training video or using the 25Live platform, please contact SAO directly.

Please be aware that Hariri classrooms are only available Monday – Thursday from 9am-9pm, and on Fridays from 9am-6pm.

NO FOOD IS ALLOWED IN HARIRI CLASSROOMS.

There are several policies and procedures issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of Boston, and Boston University due to Covid-19 that must be followed when planning any in-person gatherings.

To ensure everyone’s safety and well- being, all in-person events must be planned through Questrom Events and Conferences. If you are interested in planning any type of in-person programming, please submit a request using the Questrom Event Support Request Form.

Events approved to be held during the weekends in the Rafik B. Hariri Building must have a faculty/staff chaperone present at all times.

Due to the large amount of requests for tabling in the Chiles Atrium, organizations will only be approved to table three times a week. All requests must be submitted by 9am on Thursday for the following week.

Tabling hours are Monday – Friday from 9am – 4pm. Two chairs will be provided for each table. Requests for tabling in the Chiles Atrium can be submitted using the Event Support Request Form.

The tables in the Chiles Atrium must be covered with a table cloth and skirt, which are available for sign-out at the UDC. Student Organizations tabling without a table cloth and skirt or that do not return the table cloth and skirt will be penalized, and unable to request tabling for the remainder of the semester. Tablecloths that are returned in a condition that requires cleaning may incur the laundering charge of $10.
