How is the process for booking event spaces at SU changing?

Conference and Event Services (CES) is moving to a new event space booking process at the end of the day on Friday, Nov. 1. CES will deactivate its current Event Request Form and require all campus community members to book event spaces, classrooms and conference rooms via the EMS Web App. There are many benefits to switching to booking through the EMS Web App: 

• No more guessing when event spaces are available— You will be able to see in the EMS Web App when your favorite spaces like the LeRoux Conference Center (Student Center 160) and Campion Ballroom are available and plan accordingly.
  
  
• Reserve a space instantly— When you request an event space through the EMS Web App, it automatically holds the space for you until the Client Services team can officially approve it. There is no risk of someone else booking the space between the time you submit your request and when our Client Services team reviews it. 

• Keep a record of all of your meeting bookings in one place— You will be able to see all of the bookings you have made through the EMS Web App in the app. No more searching through reservation emails to check if you booked that one important meeting or event! Your list of reservations will be centralized. 

A resource page on the CES website walks you through how to get an account and how to do basic requests through the EMS Web App. In addition to the user manuals and video tutorials on this web page, CES will also be setting up in-person workshops where you can come ask us questions about how to use it. 

Head to the Request An Account page soon to get your account set up before the Nov. 1 deadline. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the CES team at rooms@seattleu.edu if you have any questions about how to use this new tool or registering for an account.
