Welcome to Events & Conference Services at Rutgers University–Newark.

Our team is dedicated to creating exceptional experiences—whether it’s an academic symposium, community celebration, or global conference. Each event we host reflects the spirit of Rutgers–Newark: diverse, dynamic, and deeply connected to the city around us.

We take pride in our commitment to Exceptional Service, in an Exceptional Way. That means every detail matters—every setup, every smile, every guest experience. Behind the scenes is a team of professionals and student leaders who care deeply about bringing your vision to life and ensuring your event feels supported from start to finish.

We look forward to working with you and continuing to make Rutgers–Newark a place where ideas are shared, milestones are celebrated, and connections are made.

Here’s to the journey,
