Audio-Visual Event Support

The Audio-Visual Event Support team is available to deliver multimedia services for the UC Santa Cruz community and those who are hosting events in campus facilities. All audio-visual requests need at least 5 business days for proper planning. When submitting an email request, include when, where, and what services you’re seeking, a brief description of the event and its size, to receive a proper quote. Requests will be reviewed in the context of staff availability and preexisting commitments.

For classroom tech support, reach out to ITS.
