» the difference you bring to the table
Event professionals in higher education are more than planners—they are strategic partners. While party planners focus on creating memorable personal celebrations, higher-ed event professionals align their work with institutional goals, creating events that advance academic priorities, build relationships, and inspire lasting impact.
Your expertise turns commencements into unforgettable milestones, donor events into transformational opportunities, and academic conferences into platforms for innovation. The CSU+UC Event Professionals Network celebrates your role and amplifies your ability to make a difference.
