For Stanford Students: A Step-by-Step Guide to Planning your Event with LBRE Event Services and LBRE Operations
Register your event in Cardinal Engage
Events must be registered in CardinalEngage at least 5 days in advance. Large-scale and complex events require 4+ weeks lead time and advising from OSE.
When registering your event, you will also choose your venue. Please remember to have enough time reserved before and after the event to enable Event Services to set and strike equipment, time to clean venue before and after event, and time for your caterer to set up food & beverages.
Submit an Event Services service request
Event Services provides the rental of AV equipment, Tables, Chairs, etc. When submitting a service request, please enter a brief outline of the event in the "Step 4 - Further Details” section. An Event Manager will contact you with any questions and provide an estimate. Allow least ten business days prior to your event date for requests as getting ASSU approval can take time. This gives us time to work with your budget, make modifications, and receive approval.
Submit a request for Grounds/Janitorial clean up, trash/recycling bins, irrigation shutoff
Requests for Custodial (indoor clean-up, bathroom refresh and trash removal), PSSI (trash, recycle and compost bins) and Grounds (outdoor trash removal and irrigation shutoff) are submitted via a FacOps (BGM) Work Request. Submit a Customer Funded request for each service needed for your event. Please visit the FacOps Work Request link below for

Approve the Event Services estimate and create an ASSU Purchase Order

ASSU PO Received
Once the ASSU representative sends the approved PO to Event Services, the equipment and/or services for your event can be scheduled and provided by Event Services.
