Event Technology and Support

For events held in Memorial Union and Union South requiring special technological or entertainment needs, the Wisconsin Union offers a wide range of audiovisual and presentation equipment. This page provides an overview of equipment availability, rental fees, and staff support.

In this section:

Reserving Event Equipment
Event equipment can be reserved through your Central Reservations event planner as soon as your event is scheduled. Modifications to your equipment rental plans can be made up to three days before your event, depending on equipment availability. Most equipment has an associated rental fee that covers delivery of the equipment to your meeting room, set up, and removal following your event. Event Managers and Building Managers are available to assist you with your rented equipment use or answer any questions. You are allowed to bring in your own equipment, but we do not provice technology support.

* Non-Admission (free) Event  [Admission events pay the UW Department Rate]
** Requests within 10 business days of event cannot be guaranteed and may have additional costs
