Equipment
Event Planning at Brown is a comprehensive guide with all the information and contacts you'll need to have a successful event. All requests must be placed at least one week in advance. We strongly suggest more notice for weekend events. Place an online reservation request.

Fees
There is no fee for course-related use of equipment. You will be charged for consumables such as blank tapes (audio, video) and optical media (mini-DVDs, DVD+Rs, DVD-Rs, CD-Rs). Please see our items for purchase. There are fees associated with non-course related services and equipment rental. If you're booking a weekend event, please be advised that there is a four-hour minimum for professional staffing.

Other Considerations
If you're making a reservation on behalf of someone else, please determine their equipment needs before contacting Media Services. Some questions to ask them may include: Are they using PowerPoint?; do they have sound in the presentation?; are they using a Macintosh or a PC? will Media Services need to provide a laptop? Will the presenter need access to the Internet? How many people are expected to attend the event?
