            • Event Organisers' Checklist File

              This checklist is designed to guide Glyndŵr University staff step by step through the process of organising events at Glyndŵr University.

              Although this guide is primarily aimed at people organising events for a fully or partially external audience, it will also be a useful tool for those organising events for staff.

              We can’t organise the event for you, but we can provide advice and guidance to support you through the process, and help you to promote your event too.

              We have tried to make this list as comprehensive as possible, but if you have a question that is not answered here, or would simply like more advice, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help.
