<div dir="ltr">here's the confirmation for the BYOL labs, but I think we now have enough FREE rooms (6 from geology, 3 from geography) that we won't need these. I will hold onto them for a while until we are sure.<br>

Thanks for the information, the person I spoke with hadn't informed me that there would be any charges for this conference. I've update pricing accordingly. Also rooms 327/8/9 are unavailable on either of the days that I was asked about so we reserved what space was available and the person I spoke with indicated you folks would check with your respective departments for additional classroom space. <br>
Please find below the full list confirmation of the reserved rooms. <br>~Jonathen<br><br>Conferences & Events | Portland State University</div>

Neither Group nor any attorney retained by Group shall defend a claim in the name of the State of Oregon or any agency of the State of Oregon, nor purport to act as legal representative of the State of Oregon or any of its agencies, without the prior written consent of the Oregon Attorney General. The State of Oregon may, at its election, assume its own defense and settlement.</p>
<p><strong>2. Cancellations</strong></p>
<p>All cancellations of meeting rooms must be received in writing, i.e. via e-mail, at least ten business days prior to the event, or within 72 hours of receiving confirmation for event. Marquee spaces must be <span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_CANCELLED671"><span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_CANCELLED673">cancelled</span></span> at least 30 days prior to the event. Events cancelled after these deadlines up until the day before the event will be charged 50% of the full, non-discounted room rental of the space. Events that neither occur nor cancel prior to one day before event will be considered "no-shows" and will be charged 100% of the full non-discounted room rental. </p>
<p><strong>3. Food/Alcohol</strong> </p>
<p>Food Service</p>
<p>PSU Dining <a href="tel:%28503%20725-4427" value="+15037254427" target="_blank">(503 725-4427</a>, <a href="mailto:catering@pdx.edu" target="_blank">catering@pdx.edu</a>) is the exclusive caterer for all events in the SMSU and University Place Hotel and all catering must be coordinated through PSU Dining. Small, private non-catered events involving food, i.e. potlucks, brownbags, bake sales may bring in their own food without obtaining prior permission.</p>
<p>Potluck:</p>
<p>Any event in which food is supplied by members of a small (numbering less than one hundred attendees), fraternal organization for the consumption of members of that organization only. Food service which is open to non-members and the general public will not be considered a potluck. </p>
<p>Brown bag: </p>
<p>Any event in which there is no organized food service, but in which attendees may or may not bring their own food for their own personal consumption. </p>
<p>Alcohol Service</p>
<p>All alcohol service must be approved by PSU in the form of a completed and signed digital <a href="https://orgsync.com/63311/forms/68674" target="_blank">Alcohol Request Form</a>. No alcohol may be served at any Dance or Concert (see page 10).</p>
<p>
</p><p>As per PSU's Internal Management Directive 1.302, Events promoted in terms that suggest the primary focus of the event is to consume alcoholic beverages (e.g., "kegger") or encourage over-consumption ("all you can drink," "happy hours," "free drinks") are not consistent with the University's philosophy and are prohibited. The President retains the sole prerogative for waiving any or all provisions of this directive.</p>
<p>
</p><p>All alcohol service must adhere to the following regulations:</p>
<p>a) 1. ID checks. IDs can be checked at the door if all attendees are over 21 years of age, or they can be checked at the bar at time of service. ID checks can also occur at a physically segregated location within the event that is designated a "beer garden." Only individuals of legal age will be admitted to the Beer garden area. ID checker must be provided by Campus Public Safety.</p>
<p>b) 2. There must be a substantial amount of food provided if alcohol is to be served and must be provided throughout the course of the event. If the food runs out or is not deemed substantial by the catering manager the bar will be closed per OLCC regulations.</p>
<p>c) 3. Alcohol service is only allowed at private events with fewer than 500 attendees. </p>
<p><strong>4. Labor Fees</strong></p>
<p>Labor fees are charged when an event requires extra labor beyond the normal set up and tear down of the event. Reasons the Labor Fees may be applied to your event include, but are not limited to, the following: </p>
<p>a) If extra cleaning is required to remove trash left on furniture or floors, or to spray clean the walls or furniture, or if the floors need to be shampooed or otherwise receive special care</p>
<p>b) If a change in furniture configuration is requested after the furniture has been set for the event</p>
<p>c) If extra personnel is necessary to accommodate your event </p>
<p><strong>5. Additional Furniture and Equipment</strong></p>
<p>If additional furniture or equipment is needed for an event in the Smith Union or <span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_HOFFMANN1238"><span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_HOFFMANN1268"><span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_HOFFMANN1240"><span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_HOFFMANN1242"><span style="color:red;text-decoration:underline" name="__SPELL_CHECK_HOFFMANN1244">Hoffmann</span></span></span></span></span> Hall, the client must arrange to have it provided by Conferences & Events prior to the event at the client’s expense.</p>
<p>For events outside of the Smith Union and Hoffmann Hall, all spaces are booked "as-is." Conferences & Events will not provide any equipment or furniture to events in spaces other than SMSU or Hoffmann Hall. In the event that additional furniture is needed for an event that is not in the Smith Union or Hoffmann Hall, the client may contact Facilities and Planning at <a href="tel:503.725.4921" value="+15037254921" target="_blank">503.725.4921</a> for assistance. Facilities and Planning can provide the following: </p>
<p>a) 6’ rectangular tables</p>
<p>b) Indoor chairs</p>
<p>c) Outdoor chairs</p>
<p>If additional furniture or equipment is needed that Facilities cannot provide, the delivery, set-up and removal of additional furniture and equipment must be coordinated with an outside provider to occur within the reservation time of the event.</p>
<p><strong>6. Security Meetings</strong></p>
<p>Security meetings may be required if the nature of the event is likely to require a Campus Public Safety Office (CPSO) presence to maintain order. Security meetings are required for all of the following types of events:</p>
<p>1. Events where elected officials or foreign dignitaries, i.e. ambassadors, heads of state, will be in attendance </p>
<p>2. Events that run after hours</p>
<p>Security meetings must include at least one representative from each of the following: Event Scheduling, CPSO, SALP (if it is a Student Group event) and the organization that is holding the event. Security meetings should be held within two weeks of reserving space. Event will not be confirmed until Security Meeting is held and CPSO has approved the event to occur.</p>
<p>If the meeting is not held, or if event does not receive CPSO’s approval to proceed, this reservation may be cancelled without notice by the University, with no financial responsibility to the University.</p>
<p><strong>7. Pre-Event Meetings</strong></p>
<p>Pre-event meetings are required for any event booked in Marquee Spaces, including: The Smith Ballroom, Hoffmann Hall and Parkway North. A pre-event meeting must be held no later than 6 weeks prior to event and may also double as a security meeting if a security meeting is needed. Additional pre-event meetings may be held prior to or after the 6 week deadline as deemed necessary by either the client or the event coordinator.</p>
<p><strong>8. Tickets</strong></p>
<p>Any event that is selling tickets is required to use the PSU Box Office for their ticket sales. This rule does not apply to conference registration fees. </p>
<p><strong>9. After Hours Events</strong></p>
<p>Requests to extend events past SMSU or Hoffmann building hours (7am-10pm, Mon-Sat, 9am-6pm, Sun) will only be accepted for events on Fridays and Saturdays and only until 12am at the latest. In the event that an event is requested to extend past 10pm on Friday or Saturday, book the event until 10pm and then put an After Hours Event Reminder on the reservation with the SMSU Operations Manager as the Responsible User. The SMSU Operations Manager will then review the request in conjunction with the Night Supervisor, and if necessary, AV, Catering, or Security, to determine whether the request can be granted. The SMSU Operations Manager will then communicate the outcome of the request to the Event Coordinator and the requesting party, unless it is a student group event which has not yet been approved by the SALP Adviser, in which case only the Event Coordinator will be notified. </p>
<p><strong>10. Late Changes</strong></p>
<p>Final equipment requests and furniture configurations for rooms must be submitted to your event coordinator no later than 48 hours prior to your event. Any requests for changes to the furniture or for additional equipment are subject to the discretion of Conferences & Events. Conferences & Events reserves the right to refuse late changes and late change requests which are accepted may incur a fee for extra labor and equipment. </p>
<p><strong>11. Athletic Events</strong></p>
<p>Athletic events or physical competitions which carry the potential for property damage or injury to participants, are not allowed in the Smith Memorial Student Union. To schedule athletic events on the PSU Campus, please contact the Peter Stott Center at <a href="tel:503-725-5643" value="+15037255643" target="_blank">503-725-5643</a>. The only exception to this policy regards bowling activities in the Viking GameRoom (SMSU 36). </p>
<p><strong>12. Film, Photography and Videography</strong></p>
<p>All requests to shoot films, TV commercials and still pictures on campus must be approved by University Communications and must have a signed location agreement prior to shooting.</p>
<p>Taking pictures or filming scheduled events at PSU does not require a location agreement with University Communications. All photographs, filming, videography or sound recordings in PSU event space is at the discretion of the group that has booked the space. They reserve the right to allow or to bar recording of their event. Any party who refuses to stop recording an event after being asked to stop by the scheduled group is in violation of the Conduct Procedure and is subject to being removed from the premises.</p>
<p><strong>13. Firearms</strong></p>
<p>In accordance with the OUS Policy on Firearms, students, employees, individuals with a business interest with the campus (such as vendors and contractors), event attendees, those who rent or lease University property, and campus visitors are forbidden from carrying a firearm on University owned or controlled property. Such property includes all PSU campus buildings, sports or performance venues, and workplaces. The prohibition is effective whether or not an individual holds a concealed handgun license. The policy provides several exceptions to the firearms prohibition, including for on-duty law enforcement officers and public safety personnel and military program participants. For your convenience and further information, a copy of the OUS Policy on Firearms can be found at <a href="http://www.pdx.edu/cpso/firearm-policy" target="_blank">www.pdx.edu/cpso/firearm-policy</a>.</p>
<p><strong>14. Unforeseen Closures</strong></p>
