The CSU Pandemic Planning Team has canceled all Spring semester in-person or face-to-face events until further notice, with a few exceptions.
Promote virtual events by submitting event information to the University Events calendar and providing details for online engagement.
We have typically defined the difference as events are “special events” that commemorate, celebrate, raise awareness, etc. they are a ceremony, gala, party, special gathering.
A meeting is for the purpose of conducting business or is educational and is often a regular occurrence. During a meeting decisions are made, collaboration occurs, sales are made, etc. This would include “meetings” of a professional group (a group that requires a paid membership, such as a professional membership organization) as an event and not a meeting. For example, a group of researchers affiliated with a specialty discipline who meet annually or a few times a year would be an event and not a meeting.
