If you have a meeting, conference or other event on your agenda, you should seek our help. We're the meeting planning specialists at the University of Southern Maine. We're able to help you plan your function, whether it's a small staff meeting or a large conference on campus or off for a lot less money than you may think.

Your meetings and events are critical to the success of your business or organization. Unfortunately, planning functions can eat up a lot of time and money, especially when you have inexperienced people learning as they go. An experienced professional, like one of our experts at USM, can actually save you time and money — lots of it — through efficiently negotiating room rates, prices, and, frankly, by doing it right the first time.
